Goldfinger (Erno) and Ursula Blackwell. Planning Your Neighbourhood: for home, for work, for play, 20 sheets, 500 x 360mm., colour, small holes at corners, some light toning, mainly marginal, [for the Army Bureau of Current Affairs], [1944].⁂ Scarce and important series. Architect Erno Goldfinger played an important part in the development of the modernist movement in Britain, particularly famous for his Brutalist designs, which were often unpopular publicly (allegedly Ian Fleming, Goldfinger's neighbour, was so opposed to one design that he named the Bond villain after the architect). 'Planning Your Neighbourhood' is an optimistic presentation of an utopian vision of improved post-war city life. Shoreditch, with slums and heavily damaged in the war, was a perfect candidate for post-war reconstruction. The 20 sheets of the proposal here, incorporate maps, aerial photos and diagrams to aid visualisation - the idea was that anyone, young and old across different social classes, would enjoy living in the "vertical city".

Tooley describes it as "extremely rare in this state".Whiteknights, near Reading, was a seat of the Marquis of Blandford (later 5th Duke of Marlborough) who entertained there lavishly.
