Editorial
Our diaries are brimming with anniversaries this year: Queen Elizabeth
II’s diamond jubilee, the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens,
Gustav Klimt’s 150th birthday, the 100th anniversary of the Titanic –
and so on. The discerning – or cynical – may question the merits of
marking such milestones, but scrape beneath the marketing veneer and
doubtless there are certain morsels to enjoy.
