Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st American Edition. 9" x 10.25" Soft cover. 14 pp., 120 numbered B&W photographs. Covers are age toned and curled, creasing to corners, sticker to head of rear cover. In San Francisco on 18 February 1972 Tony Ray-Jones was told that he had an acute and rare form of leukaemia. He died in London at the Royal Marsden Hospital less than a month later. He was thirty years old. The pictures that he took, and what he had to say about photography: these are of singular importance. As eccentric as their subjects, surreal, hilarious, yet kindly and bittersweet, Tony Ray-Jones' photographs show the gentle madness that overtakes people when they feel they can relax and be their true selves. Born in England, he studied design at Yale and freelanced in the US. When he returned to England he looked afresh at English life and the result is A Day Off, the only collection of his work in book form. Pictured here with a sharp but compassionate eye, are people seriously, doggedly intent on leisure activities: at the seashore, at carnivals, at horse and dog shows, at folk festivals, dances, beauty contests, and at Ascot and Eton--all relaxing at a furious clip.

Softcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. First Edition. 4to, 14pp (intro) + 110pp. Beige boards in dustwrapper. 120 Black & White plates. Some pretty heavy foxing as shown. Beautiful document of the British at leisure. Ray-Jones spent some time in America during the early to mid 1960s, training as a graphic designer at Yale and later with Alexey Brodovitch. On returning to England in 1966 he sought to photograph the âEnglish Way of lifeâ, in particular how people spent their leisure time. âI want my pictures to bite like the images in Buñuelâs films which disturb you while making you think. I want them to have poignancy and sharpness but with humour on top My aim is to communicate something of the spirit and the mentality of the English, their habits and their way of life, the ironies that exist in the way they do things, partly through tradition and partly through the nature of their environment and mentality.â Roth in The Open Book pp.302-3. A real classic.
