Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Well-illustrated and well-researched account of the cult British photographer. Accompanying an exhibition at The Photographers' Gallery, Under the Influence: John Deakin, Photography and the Lure of Soho explores the hidden corners and colourful characters of this notorious part of London as seen through Deakin's eyes. His circle included the painters Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach, the writers Dylan Thomas, Daniel Farson and Jeffrey Bernard, and the socialites Henrietta Moraes and Muriel Belcher, proprietress of fabled drinking den The Colony Room. Deakin photographed these and other celebrated personalities alongside lesser-known Soho figures of the day. Artisans and tradesmen, from the ice-seller to the under-chef, newspaper vendor, street sweeper, vagrants and outsiders - all were captured by his democratic, equitable lens. 176 pages, illustrations (some colour). First edition, first printing. Burgundy cloth boards, photograph pasted to front board, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.…
