the masses at a price they could afford. Thames & Hudson published ten titles in its first year of 1950, including English Cathedrals with photographs by Martin Hürlimann, and Albert Einstein’s Out of My Later Years. Increasing the number of titles published year over year, by 1956 Thames & Hudson had outgrown its High Holborn offices and moved to Bloomsbury Street just off Bedford Square, which was at the time the centre of London book publishing. Remaining at that address for 43 years, it moved back to High Holborn in 1999. In 1958, Thames & Hudson launched one of its best-known series, the World of Art. Pocket-sized and with black spines, the series grew to 49 titles within seven years, and has currently produced over 300 titles. Other major series have included Ancient People and Places, edited by archaeologist Glyn Daniel, which eventually included over 100 titles, and the large-format Great Civilizations series, published from 1961, featuring contributions by Alan Bullock, Asa Briggs, Hugh Trevor-Roper, A. J. P. Taylor, John Julius Norwich and others. Walter Neurath died in 1967 at the age of 63, and Eva Neurath became chairman of the company until her death 1999. Walter's son Thomas, who with his sister Constance had joined the company in 1961, became managing director upon Walter's death; Constance later served as art director for several decades. Both Thomas and Constance are on the company's board of directors, and as of 2022 Thomas's daughters Johanna and Susanna are as well.
