Description: | The 'New Estates' Magazine was a manufacturer's promotional tool, showcasing the lifestyle that would come along with owning an E. & L. Berg home in one of their many estates around London. It includes maps, photographs and articles about the houses. There are even articles on film, fashion and beauty, copying, as many furniture catalogues did, women's magazines.
There is an extensive feature on 'Sunspan homes - the home of tomorrow'. First shown at the Ideal Home Exhibition of 1934, the original Sunspan house was designed by architect Wells Coates.
Berg built them under license to him. The Sunspan home, we read, 'lets in more sunshine than any house ever built' and was based on the idea that 'home is the place of untrammeled comfort, perpetual ease, increasing delight.'
