Synopsis

Anonymous, published last year to unanimous acclaim and now available in paperback, presents over 200 powerful, poignant and anonymous photographs, meticulously collected by fine arts curator Robert Flynn Johnson. Whether subversive, charming, funny or shocking, each one stands on its own merits, regardless of labels of authorship. Bestselling writer William Boyd contributes a perceptive introduction.

About this title

Review:

"Each turn of the page is accompanied by an inaudibly murmured 'of course' ... even the pictures that tell the most dramatic stories ... do so with the visual composure of a Cartier-Bresson."
