Object Details

From 1984 to 2010, the Radio and TV Correspondents’ Gallery used a faux bookshelf to provide a classic library backdrop for Members’ television productions. Books were sliced in half vertically to fit the shallow shelves. One volume was John Galsworthy’s The Forsyte Saga: The Man of Property.
