Weidenfeld and Nicolson. London. 1968. First edition. Hardback, quarto; black cloth-bound boards, silver title to spine, dust jacket. 248 pages. 300 black-and-white and 8 colour images. English. 310x235mm. 1.6kg. Very good, in good dust jacket; some shelf wear to jacket, occasional small nick to top edge, tear to head of spine and head of rear fold, repaired with tape to verso, slight fading to title on spine, not price-clipped; no inscriptions, light spotting to top edge, occasional light spotting to a few pages. The Best of Beaton is an anthology of Beaton’s "best" photographs from 1922 to date. Reproductions of over three hundred photographs, presented chronologically, provide an objective overview of a hugely-varied, successful and influential photographic career. Chapters include ‘First Stages’, ‘Early Cinema’, ‘Travel’, ‘Fashions of the late Twenties and Thirties’, ‘Branches, Stalks and Stems’, ‘Creative People’, ‘The Performing Artists’, ‘War’, ‘War Fashions and After’, ‘Time Sequences’, ‘Personages’, ‘Charivari’, and ‘The Future Past’. Each chapter begins with a short commentary text by Beaton; pithy and witty stories of how the pictures were made, the sitters, the locations and the technical challenges. Truman Capote provides a "glowing tribute" in his introduction. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. We welcome questions about our books and we are happy to provide any extra images. Buy with confidence from an experienced bookseller.…
