Blue Guide to Belgium and Luxembourg
L. Russell Muirhead (Ed.)
London: Ernest Benn Limited, 1963
The 1963 Blue Guide to Belgium and Luxembourg
follows the 1929 edition and thus refers to Belgium’s role in World War II. These accounts, plus the well-researched changes in art, architecture and public spaces resulting from the bombings, have particular significance for us. We were born in Antwerp, Belgium during WWII and lived in that city until the end of the war.
The book includes a fascinating, very little-known
history of Belgium, from Roman times up to 1962, as well as a sketch of the development of Belgian art. The numerous foldout maps have been specially prepared for this edition.
