Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2012. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf Broché cousu.

Au début des années 1980, ses images s'attachent à présenter le mode de vie de l'Anglais moyen, miroirs du déclin social et moral de la classe ouvrière sous Margaret Thatcher. Il acquiert une renommée internationale pour son approche indirecte du documentaire social et son imagerie innovante, puis devient membre à part entière de Magnum Photos en 1994, loin des multiples controverses suscitées par son style photographique provocateur.
