First Impression of this compilation of Hinde's postcard images of Butlin's holiday parks, a chain of seaside resorts providing affordable holidays for "ordinary" British families, with photography by Elmar Ludwig, Edmund N�gle, and David Noble. Royal oblong 8vo (239 x 297mm): 127,[1]pp, chiefly color illustrations. Publisher's scarlet cloth-effect paper-covered boards, spine and front cover lettered in white, photo-illustrated dust jacket priced 24.905/$39.95. An excellent example (corners bumped), tightly bound and clean throughout. Hinde was a pioneer in color photography and by the 1960s was operating one of the world's most successful postcard publishers. These photographs, featuring saturated colors and elaborate staging, were taken for his firm during the holiday camp's heyday, the 1960s and 1970s. They show holiday makers enjoying the chalets and swimming pools, monorails and boating lakes, ballrooms and theme bars of Butlin's parks. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
