Can 1960s UK be put in a box? It's been done.

English fashion photographer and TV commercial director David Bailey shaped the popular image of the UK's mid-60s cultural revolution. Back then, England's larger cities helped redefine activism, culture, art, and music, ranging from the anti-nuclear movement, sexual liberation, psychedelic subculture, supermodel Twiggy, and the miniskirt, to the global British Invasion of pop bands.

In 1964, Bailey published Box Of Pin-Ups with 36 loose photos of the fashionable and famous. The Box was a celebration of the growing celebrity culture. Four of the pin-ups were young women, the rest were the young men who fuelled the Swinging Sixties that Bailey photographed. Among them were Mick Jagger and The Beatles' song-writing duo John Lennon and Paul McCartney—the ultimate pin-ups of that era.
