Synopsis
In 1953 Alfred Gregory was chief photographer fo the triumphant British team that took Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to the summit of Everest. There he took spectacular photographs that record not only the human struggle to conquer the Himalaya but also the once-pristine beauty of the world's highest mountain.
In the years that followed, Alfred Gregory travelled the world, leading mountaineering expeditions and recording cultures and landscapes that were then largely unknown to Westerners. He also captured the character, excitement and fading innocence of his hometown, Blackpool. His keen eye and sharp intelligence created pictures that portray all the majesty of the world's greatest wildernesses and that preserve those fleeting moments when ordinary people, objects and places become extraordinary.
In this stunning book, more than one hundred remarkable images from Alfred Gregory's lifetime of photography are brought together for the first time.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
