queen mary

Shopping bag from fabric designed by Duncan Grant for the Queen Mary. His design was rejected. Ancient Industries have brought back some of his lost designs, including 'Queen Mary' (1936), above, and 'Charleston Grapes' (1932), below.

Ambler

I'd buy these just for the covers, but the books are also involved and well-written late-1930s' espionage stories. It's sort of weird to see them as "Modern Classics" though. 

 

Eric Ambler's Epitaph for a Spy; Uncommon Danger; Cause for Alarm;  

Journey into Fear; and The Mask of Dimitrios.
