Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1974 first edition Thames and Hudson (London), 9 1/2 x 10 5/8 inches tall light brown cloth hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, embossed gilt design to front cover, gilt lettering to spine, 14 pp. intro on tan stock and 120 captioned Tony Ray-Jones images on bright white stock. Very slight rubbing and edgewear to covers. Very slight staining to blank front free-endpaper. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a very good dust jacket which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~W~ [3.0P] Tony Ray-Jones (1941-1972), whose photographic career spanned only one decade, defined a new way of looking at his own society - with irony, nostalgia, compassion and humor. He was prolific in his short ten years, and his point of view exerted an enormous influence on the development of British documentary art photography from the 1970s through the present. His photographs are documentary, almost anthropological by nature, and make keen observations on contemporary British society. Ray-Jones stated that his aim as a photographer was to capture the specific British aura, the nostalgic potential and surreal humor in ordinary situations. In 1968 his attempts to publish his England by the Sea album, which served as a basis for this work (which was published posthumously), came to nothing ? the publishers claimed that the album would raise no interest. Sean O'Hagan in The Guardian said 'in his short life [Ray-Jones] helped create a way of seeing that has shaped several generations of British photography.'. Seller Inventory # W-0512-12054
