Exhibition Bond Bound
If like me you have never missed a Bond film (the ones with Timothy Dalton don’t count) and have always wondered where the inspiration for the strong, independent and beautiful Bond women came from, then the cover artwork from the books about the secret agent will provide the clue. The exhibition celebrates the centenary of the birth of Ian Fleming and showcases the many book jackets which inspired and defined the Bond look and portrayed a snapshot into society’s changing attitudes to sex, feminism and politics. The exhibition will also include unique and previously unseen archive material. Everything from the first Bond novel, Casino Royale, published in 1953 to the latest, Devil May Care, written as a tribute to Ian Fleming by Sebastian Faulks, will be on show. There’s more info on this fascinating show from here and news of other events marking the centenary. / Sophie Khan
