1950s Jazz in London and Paris: Walter Hanlon Photography


1950s Jazz in London and Paris: Walter Hanlon Photography


$24.8


The jazz scene that burgeoned in London and Paris in the 1950s was in part a reflection of post-war celebration. Americans traveled to Europe again for reasons other than war, and in the smoky clubs talented artists from both sides of the Atlantic developed their craft. Walter Hanlon began his career as a musician, playing guitar and broadcasting. He developed an interest in photography and in 1949 began pursuing this alternative career, using his musical connections to help open doors for big events within the London jazz scene. Having always disliked the type of photographs produced by camera mounted flash, he developed a technique of "off camera" flash to create atmospheric pictures in the clubs of London and Paris, although he preferred to use available light on portraits. Walter’s contacts ensured he was at the forefront of the Jazz scene, and these stunning photographs are the result.

The two world wars of the twentieth century seem so distant from us now, a lifetime ago, in a different age. Yet in London the evidence of these conflicts is around us, near at hand, in the many relics and reminders that are scattered across the fabric of the modern city. And, as Alan Brooks demonstrates in this fascinating photographic record, they can be seen and visited today. Plaques and inscriptions, graves, cemeteries and rolls of honour, stone monuments and stained glass, war-damaged buildings, pillboxes and air-raid shelters, painted signs and camouflage – these are just some of the mementoes of war, and of the experience of Londoners, during the greatest conflicts the country has known.

Historic Views of London


Historic Views of London


$34.24


Bernard Howarth-Loomes was an important collector of early photographs and particularly of stereo photography. Throughout his life, he was deeply interested in photography and was especially enthralled by the stereoscopic, three-dimensional process; he collected photographs of all sorts, stereo-cards and photographic equipment. Through his collecting years, he showed his consideration for others, permitting the National Monument Record (NMR) to make copies of those which were relevant to that collection and generously granting reproduction rights. The topographical range of photographs was spread across the British Isles; those chosen for this volume have been confined to the Greater London area and in particular to the City of London and to Westminster. Ann Saunders has added an authoritative introductory text and captions for each of the images included.

For centuries London has had shops, Londoners have gone shopping and people have visited London to do the same. Many familiar shop names have their beginnings as early as the eighteenth century, and many historic shop buildings are still used for the same purpose as they always were.

Part of the England-wide English Heritage survey of historic shop buildings, this highly illustrated book concentrating on shops in the capital has chapters on specialist shops, food shops, department stores, arcades and markets, and much else. It is essentially a celebration of the heritage of shopping. Some wonderful buildings are to be found in this book, coupled with amazing archive photography and stunning new photographs.

Edward Bawden’s London


$30.03


Whether he was creating book illustrations, advertising posters, or college murals, Edward Bawden (1903-1989), a one-time Official War Artist who documented WWII in watercolor, found his greatest muse in the city of London. This beautiful book, with almost 200 striking images, shows Bawden’s unique view of the city in prints, posters, drawings, paintings, murals, and advertising material. The illustrations include early work executed while a student in the early 1920s; the Morley College murals carried out in partnership with the well-known artist Eric Ravilious; advertising work for London Transport, Fortnum & Mason, Twinings Teas, Shell, and Westminster Bank; Bawden’s famous mural for the Lion & Unicorn Pavilion at the 1951 Festival of Britain; and some of his finest series of linocuts including London Monuments and London Markets. Praise for "Edward Bawden’s London: ""With their keen eyes and dramatic compositions, Capa, Brassaї, Andre Kertesz, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Martin Munkasci, and forty-five of their less-famous contemporaries put an indelible stamp on journalism, fashion, and war photography. Their rich black-and-white images are elegantly reproduced in this arresting book." –"Minneapolis Star Tribune"

Animal London: A Spotter’s Guide


$17.81


Dragons guarding gateways, elephants in parks, sea monsters on gables–this quirky guidebook introduces the animals that hide amidst the iconic London landscape London is full of animals. They are hidden in crumbling graveyards, daubed in canal-bank graffiti, and perched atop rooftops, but in the hustle-and-bustle at street level they are all too often overlooked. This guidebook full of gorgeous photography brings to life the animal artworks that give London its unique character. From rabbits, owls, dogs, and cats to tortoises, dolphins, sharks, and gorillas, a menagerie of creatures inhabits every corner of the city from Tobacco Docks to Crystal Palace, Bankside to Hackney. They span both ancient and modern too: monstrous medieval gargoyles lurk down damp alleyways, while in a modern urban wasteland there lives a "mechanosaurous" made out of car parts by scrap merchants. From the moment a reader spies one in the undergrowth of a neglected park, or spots for the first time one clinging to the parapet of a classic landmark, they will have embarked on a remarkable topographical treasure hunt.

London Art Deco


$16.41


Stunning photographs offer a visual journey through London’s Art Deco style–from factories and underground stations to theaters and private residences This richly illustrated book offers a fascinating and detailed look at the Art Deco style, from building design to decorative detail. The Art Deco style gained prominence at the 1925 Paris Exposition, after which each nation seemed to adapt its own distinct architectural style. Less florid than the French or that of the United States, Great Britain’s buildings reflected the country’s imperial status. From the imposing style of the Savoy Hotel, through the ornate detail of the West End theaters, to Art Deco factories like the Hoover Building, they also demonstrated Britain’s love of detail. Remarkably, many of London’s Art Deco buildings still survive–their once grime-covered indigenous Portland stone now mostly scrubbed clean, beautifully displaying their many sculptural details.

Jack London, Photographer


Jack London, Photographer


$41.42


Jack London (1876-1916) remains one of the most widely read American writers, known for his naturalist fiction, socialist novels and essays, journalism, and the many adventures that he shared with the world. London was also an accomplished photographer, producing nearly twelve thousand photographs during his lifetime. "Jack London, Photographer," the first book devoted to London’s photography, reveals a vital dimension of his artistry, barely known until now. London’s subjects included such peoples as the ragged homeless of London’s East End and the freezing refugees of the Russo-Japanese War, the latter photographed on assignment for the Hearst Syndicate. For "Collier’s" magazine, London wrote his eyewitness account of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire and returned two weeks later with his camera to document a city in ruins but slowly recovering. During his voyage aboard the Snark, London produced humane images of the South Seas islanders that contrasted dramatically with the period’s stereotypical portraits of indigenous peoples. In 1914 he documented the U.S. invasion of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution. Although some of his images were used in newspaper and magazine stories and in his books "The People of the Abyss" and "The Cruise of the Snark," the majority have remained unpublished until now. The volume’s more than two hundred photographs were printed from the original negatives in the California State Parks collection and from the original photographs in albums at the Huntington Library. They are reproduced here as duotones from silver gelatin prints. The general and chapter introductions place London’s photographs in the context of his writings and his times. London lived during the first true mass-media era, when the use of photographic images ushered in a new way of covering the news. With his discerning eye, London recorded historical moments through the faces and bodies of the people who lived them, creating memorable portraits of individuals whose cultural differences pale beside their common humanity.

Simon Forman (1552-1611) is one of London's most infamous astrologers. Whilst he was consulted thousands of times a year for medical and other questions he stood apart from the medical elite as he boldly asserted medical ideas that were at odds with most learned physicians. In this fascinating book, Lauren Kassell vividly recovers the world of medicine and magic in Elizabethan London. – ;Simon Forman (1552-1611) is one of London's most infamous astrologers. He stood apart from the medical elite because he was not formally educated and because he represented, and boldly asserted, medical ideas that were antithetical to those held by most learned physicians.

London Bridge in Plague and Fire


London Bridge in Plague and Fire


$29.95


"I am still living on London Bridge myself. The world of this novel has merged with my life. Under Madden’s pen, the web of human connection is woven over water, through space, and beyond time." —Allen Wier, author of Tehano For more than two thousand years, Old London Bridge evolved through many fragile wooden forms until it became the first bridge built of stone since the Roman invaders. With over two hundred houses and shops built directly upon the bridge, it was a wonder of the world until it was dismantled in 1832.     In this stunningly original novel, Old London Bridge is as much a living, breathing character as its architect, the priest Peter de Colechurch, who began work on it in 1176, partly to honor Archbishop Thomas à Becket, murdered in Canterbury Cathedral. In 1665, the year of the Great Plague, Peter’s history is unknown, but Daryl Braintree, a young poet living on the bridge, resurrects him through inspired flights of imagination. As Daryl chronicles the history of the bridge and composes poems about it, he reads his work to his witty mistress, who prefers making love.     Among other key characters is Lucien Redd, who as a boy was sexually brutalized by both Puritans and Cavaliers during the English Civil War before being kidnapped off London Bridge onto a merchant ship. Thus traumatized, he aspires to become Lucifer’s most evil disciple. Twenty years later, young Morgan Wood is forced into seafaring service to pay off his father’s debts; and, compelled by obsessive nostalgia for his early life on the bridge, he keeps a journal. Joining Morgan aboard ship, Lucien “befriends” him—to devastating effect.     The shops and houses on the bridge survive both the Great Plague and Great Fire, believed to be God’s wrath upon sinful London. Fearing that God may next destroy the bridge and its eight hundred denizens, seven of its merchant leaders revert to a pagan appeasement ritual by selecting one of their virgin daughters for sacrifice. To enact their plan, they hire Lucien, who has returned to the bridge to burn it out of pure meanness. But as Lucien discovers, the chosen victim may be more Lucifer’s favorite than he is.     Like his creation Daryl Braintree, David Madden employs diverse innovative ways to tell this complex, often shocking, but also lyrical story. The author of ten novels—including The Suicide’s Wife, Bijou, and most recently, Abducted by Circumstance and Sharpshooter—Madden has, with London Bridge in Plague and Fire, given us the most ambitious and imaginative work of his distinguished career.

Dickens’ London is a thing of legend. The sense of place was of the utmost importance for Dickens, and nowhere is more synonymous with his name than London. The most splendid of all his characters, the city was the subject of scrupulous research: Dickens spent several hours a day exploring its streets and inhabitants. The pieces collected here reveal London to be the primary inspiration for one of the geniuses of English literature.

Duffy: In His Own Words

Brian Duffy is best known as one of the great British fashion photographers of the 1960s and 70s, and one of the greatest innovators of documentary fashion photography. This book has been published with the full cooperation of the Duffy archive Special edition, limited to 250 numbered copies, containing a limited edition silver gelatin print, stamped by the Duffy archive Brian Duffy defined the image of the 1960s, and was as famous as the stars he photographed. Together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan, Duffy is recognised as one of the innovators of documentary fashion photography, a style which revolutionised fashion imagery and furthermore the fashion industry. Together they formed a new cult of the fashion photographer putting themselves centre stage with the models and celebrities they captured on film and leading directly to a photographer cult that manifested itself in the famous film Blow Up. Swinging London had arrived and Duffy was in the thick of it. The press nicknamed the three photographers ‘The Terrible Three’ and as Duffy put it Before 1960, a fashion photographer was tall, thin and camp. But we three are different: short, fat and heterosexual! Norman Parkinson added to their notoriety by naming them ‘The Black Trinity.’ Duffy’s first commission came from Ernestine Carter, the then fashion editor of The Sunday Times. From there he was hired by British Vogue in 1957 where he remained working until 1963 photographing famous models such as Pauline Stone and Jean Shrimpton. In the 1960s Duffy worked for many of the major fashion magazine and papers, not only British but also serving long periods with French Elle magazine. His list of subjects was a role call of the celebrities of that time: Sidney Poitier, Michael Caine, Tom Courtney, Sammy Davis JNR, Nina Simone, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Charlton Heston and William Burroughs. Duffy’s most famous photograph dates from the 1970s and is the iconic cover of David Bowie’s album Aladdin

Excerpt: Landscape art is a term that covers the depiction of natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, and especially art where the main subject is a wide view, with its elements arranged into a coherent composition. In other works landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the work. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather is often an element of the composition. Detailed landscapes as a distinct subject are not found in all artistic traditions, and develop when there is already a sophisticated tradition of representing other subjects. The two main traditions spring from Western painting and Chinese art, going back well over a thousand years in both cases. Landscape photography has been very important since the 19th century, and is covered by its own article. The word landscape is from the Dutch, landschap originally meaning a patch of cultivated ground, and then an image. The word entered the English language at the start of the 17th century, purely as a term for works of art; it was not used to describe real vistas before 1725. Landscape with scene from the Odyssey, Rome, c. 60-40 BCE. Zhan Ziqian, Strolling About in Spring, a very early Chinese landscape, c. 600 Shen Zhou, Poet on a Mountain c. 1500.
