This volume brings together 36 portraits from the five remarkable decades of Beaton's career, including iconic images as well as those never seen before. Beaton captures 50 years of fashion, art and celebrity, from Dame Edith Sitwell in the 1920s to W. H. Auden in 1967.

An Anthology by Cecil Beaton opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.Several months earlier Beaton had proposed to the V&A's director John Pope-Hennessy that he would form, on behalf of the museum, 'a collection of those dresses that he most admired.' Beaton spent many hours persuading friends, acquaintances and designers to donate clothes that represented the best of twentieth-century couture. The resulting show set a new standard for fashion exhibitions and led to a substantial enlargement of the museum's fashion collection.  The accompanying catalogue features an introduction and photographs by Beaton.
