From Sir Edward Elgar to Adele, great composers and songwriters have been at the heart of the musical landscape of the last 100 years.
This lavish photo book has been specially commissioned by PRS for Music in commemoration of a century of support for music's creators.
Showcased here are composers of film music, opera, symphonies and stage shows, as well as the writers behind the greatest hits of rock and pop, in superb new photographs by Lucy Sewill together with rare and unseen pictures from the archives.
The result is a unique 'living history' of the PRS and its members that celebrates their vital contribution to British culture.
