It ends on a high note, the promise of revival for the elm tree in Europe, and the ash tree in Britain. For Stuart Franklin, landscape and memory combine as a means of seeing and documenting the world. Here the emphasis is on trees. Their presence (or absence) can rarely be separated from human history and human intervention. Franklin explores that hybrid space between nature and society, and between nature and memory. The photographs gaze out at the sublime and sometimes haunting landscape, and inwards to memories that the strange, crooked forms evoke and recapture. Franklin introduces the work in an extended essay and there are supporting texts by the British sculptor, David Nash and the Senior Curator in Photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Martin Barnes. Magnum photographer Stuart Franklin is a Pulitzer Grant recipient. His work has been exhibited world-wide and he has been published by numerous global publications including The Guardian, Sunday Times Magazine, Geo, Art Magazine, Harper's Magazine, and National Geographic Magazine. He has published eleven books to date.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308500463989,"sku":"9781911306962","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911306962_41a35675-9942-4052-a882-b27e0a3d5d25.jpg?v=1786029408"},{"product_id":"9781911306887","title":"Ilse Bing","description":"German photographer Ilse Bing (1899-1998) has secured her place as one of the major photographers of the 20th century. Her pioneering images during the inter-war era reveal a modern vision influenced by the impact of both the Bauhaus and Surrealism. Alongside her personal work she produced images in the fields of photojournalism, architectural photography, advertising and fashion, and her work was published in the major magazines of the period and exhibited in France and Germany. She moved from Frankfurt to Paris in 1931 but when the city was taken by the Germans during World War II she and her husband, who were both Jews, were expelled and interned in the South of France. They emigrated to New York in 1941 and she lived there until her death in 1998. Since the 1970s when she first exhibited at MOMA, New York, there has been a burgeoning interest in her work and, more generally, in European photography of the 1920s and 1930s. As one of the key creative forces of the period, Bing became a frequent speaker on the photography of that time and on the development of modern art. This book, published in association with Fundacion MAPFRE, coincides with a comprehensive retrospective of her work being shown in Madrid by MAPFRE from September 2022 to January 2023. The book offers a chronological and thematic survey of her intense creative career and includes over 160 photographs as well as texts by leading experts Juan Vicente Aliaga, Benjamin Buchloh and Donna West Brett.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308500529525,"sku":"9781911306887","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911306887_74fe3040-775f-44ed-b81c-919089b643ad.jpg?v=1786029404"},{"product_id":"9781911306979","title":"The Beginnings Of Eternity","description":"Paddy Summerfield's 'The Beginnings Of Eternity', three years in the making, is his first published colour essay. It starts as an apparent travelogue: traffic and hedges, winter moon and July fields are glimpsed from a moving car. This repeated journey shifts through daylight and changing seasons, looping around local lanes and streets, then entering domestic spaces, into a final garden brilliance. Summerfield has always been a story-teller; in 'The Beginnings Of Eternity' he has a new narrative device – an idiosyncratic colour code that creates the rhythm of the essay, and signals the unfolding of Summerfield's vision of a journey that is both metaphorical and spiritual, towards a peace beyond understanding.After twenty-five years of urging by his friend, photographer John Goto, Summerfield finally acquired a limited, lo-tech digital camera, so limited that the pictures yielded unforeseen (and usually unrepeatable) vagaries of flare, colour shift, distorted perspective, and other oddness. The prismatic shards and the unpredictable effects intensify Summerfield's photography, yet viewers familiar with his work will recognise the composites, the unfocused glimpses, the pattern of echoes that have appeared within his black and white work over decades.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308500889973,"sku":"9781911306979","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911306979_8045c0f4-677a-4df1-b856-f4fa6aa8e977.jpg?v=1786029409"},{"product_id":"9781911306054","title":"The Teds","description":"Whilst the appearance of Teds can be traced back a couple of years earlier, 1956 was the true 'Year of The Ted' the year in which they became central to youth culture in the UK and could no longer be ignored.

Alinder remained in the village all his life. He chose not to take over his parents' farm and instead became a self-taught photographer and jack of all trades. He was a music lover, holder of the Swedish agency for the British record label and gramophone brand His Master's Voice. For a time he ran a country shop from his home, and he even operated an illicit bar for a while. From the 1910s to the 1930s he portrayed the local people, the landscape around them and their way of life. He often photographed them in their homes and gardens, using the technology of the time, glass plates. These he developed in a small darkroom he had built and then made the prints in the sunlight The Alinder collection was 'discovered' in the 1980s when a curator found over 8,000 glass plates stacked away in a library basement. Children placed on chairs, people perched in trees, labourers, confirmation candidates and old ladies; often depicted against a background of foliage and sprawling greenery penetrated by sunlight. Alinder's portraiture allows for the magic of chance, both liberating and defining the subjects. Often they are looking straight into the camera. As if they can see us. As if their gaze can travel the hundred years or so that lie between their time and ours. As if they were saying, 'You are alive now, but we were once alive.' This book shows Alinder's portraits for the first time. Published in collaboration with Upplandsmuseet and Landskrona Foto, it coincides with the launch of the first major exhibition of his work. He is a unique portrait photographer whose work can match other acknowledged photographers from the same period, such as Gertrude Kasebier, Mike Disfarmer or August Sander, and whilst he worked within the confines of his own small village, it is clear that such an original and skilled photographer deserves to be showcased to a broader, world-wide audience.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308948992373,"sku":"9781911306801","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911306801_f3124be3-e354-41a2-b772-ccacba4a91f3.jpg?v=1786029401"},{"product_id":"9781916915022","title":"Beyond Fear","description":"A diagnosis of cancer may be one of the most difficult pieces of news anyone could hear. From one moment to the next, life changing. The beginning of a long journey whose destination cannot be predicted. While the stages of treatment may be similar for many patients, each person's response will be different. Cancer infiltrates, not just bone and tissue, but the entire lives of patients and their families. Caroline Seymour's photographs bear witness to what had to be endured by their subjects. Challenging though some of them may be, the position of an onlooker is a privileged one. The intention is not to sensationalise, but to show the beauty in these primal wounds within this most human and desperate of situations, as well as the skill, dedication and compassion of the doctors attempting to heal them. The photographs are juxtaposed with details of paintings and sculpture from UK national collections which place the work within a broader context. The religious references are not incidental; they are significant in that they emphasise both the humanity of the patients and their suffering. These photographs celebrate the beauty of the human body, of the art of surgery, of the care given by the surgeons to cure a deadly disease. They are testament to the courage and integrity of all involved.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308985528693,"sku":"9781916915022","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915022_62f6ef70-603f-4b48-a3ec-f0960b4c6229.jpg?v=1786030306"},{"product_id":"9781916915015","title":"Christer Stromholm","description":"Christer Stromholm is recognised as one of the major figures of 20th century European photography. Stromholm captured his surroundings in black and white images that display his integrity, understated humour and a highly personal aesthetic. With an unmistakable sensitivity to human suffering, based on his personal experience, he took photography in a new direction. Sean O'Hagan, writing in The Guardian, has described him 'as the father of Swedish photography both for his abiding influence and for his role as a teacher.' Born in Stockholm, Stromholm discovered photography via graphic art in the late 1940s. During the 1950s and 60s he lived much of the time in Paris, where he developed his particular style of street photography. It was here that he produced his most famous work, Les Amies de Place Blanche, a tribute to a group of young transsexuals with whom he became friends and whose lives he shared over many months. They were very much outsiders, struggling to survive, with their main source of income being from prostitution. In these legendary photographs, shot at night in available light, Stromholm merged street photography and portraiture, depicting them as the close friends they were, in intimate and honest portraits far from the spectacular or speculative. Les Amies de Place Blanche raises profound issues about sexuality and gender; and, in Stromholm's own words, 'it is about obtaining the freedom to choose one's own life and identity.' As well as his time in Paris, Stromholm went on numerous photographic expeditions around the globe in the early 1960s, including Spain, Japan, India and the USA. Early in his career, he began teaching in Stockholm, eventually setting up the legendary Fotoskolan, from which some 1,200 students graduated between 1962 and 1974. Stromholm's work has inspired many generations of photographers, though he did not become known to the broader public until 1986, with a major exhibition at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. Stromholm died in 2002.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308985758069,"sku":"9781916915015","price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915015_b79aa1ae-6b00-4e46-b551-485f48ce673b.jpg?v=1786030306"},{"product_id":"9781916915039","title":"The Enemy Within","description":"On March 6th, 1984 miners at Cortonwood Colliery in Yorkshire went on strike. Six days later, on March 12th, NUM President, Arthur Scargill, made the strike official across Britain. And so began the UK's biggest strike since the General Strike of 1928. It ran for almost a year until March 1985 a year of bitter conflict between the miners and Margaret Thatcher and her government and marked the end of the mining era in Britain. 24 year old Michael Kerstgens was studying photography in Germany at the time. But he had strong links with South Wales having been born in Llanelli and spending his early years there. His father had also spent twelve years working in South Wales for an engineering company involved with the mining industry. As a sixteen year old Gerstgens took a summer job at the company's Swansea office. He also experienced the underground life of the miners at Cynheidre Colliery. It's not surprising therefore that once Kerstgens heard about the strike he went to South Wales to find out what was going on and to start what would be his first major photography project. Kertsgens friends and contacts enabled him access to much that was closed off to the press and when he later moved on to Yorkshire he lived with the family of a striking miner whose wife, Marsha Marshall, was one of the leading lights of Woman Against Pit Closures (WAPC). He even met Arthur Scargill. The resultant photographs offer a powerful insight into what was a brutal strike that tore a rift through British society, entire mining communities, and even individual families.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308985790837,"sku":"9781916915039","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915039_902ec632-2c91-4378-afc3-6bf77c8ceebf.jpg?v=1786030308"},{"product_id":"9781916915107","title":"Winterreise","description":"This is an extraordinarily beautiful vision of the American landscape in the tradition of the great American Road Trip. 'Road Stills' that capture the harshness and the poetry, the harmony yet also the marks of rural life etched into the landscape: dwellings, pole lines and empty, endless country roads roads that seem to exist without any obvious destination. Throughout there is a tension and a deep sense of solitude. There are traces of man on the landscape but no human presence. The great expanse of sky is overwhelming. Alfie Masoliver was inspired by Franz Schubert's lieder cycle Winterreise, which was based on a collection of poems by Wilhelm Mðller. The mood of the cycle perfectly exemplifies the Romantic Imaginary: The Night, Solitude, Nature, the Journey, the Road. Nature is the interlocutor of the Wanderer. And we ourselves are also the Wanderer, landscape only exists in the eyes of the traveller. This journey without a clear destination could perhaps be understood as a beginning. Without a clear narrative. The work has this fluidity in mind. A journey that for Masoliver expresses in the most honest way his position in the face of life and perhaps in the face of death that will inexorably come to us. Spanish born Alfie Masoliver describes himself as a Wanderer and a World Traveller.

After being granted permission by the hostel, Mark visited Derek 1-2 times a month - to drop off food or hang out, talk or just listen to music. These visits, this time spent in each others' company, became essential to the work and allowed Mark and Derek to develop a unique project that was fully collaborative. The book is an immersive long-term character portrait that extends over a number of years, but limits its perspective to a single room. Haunted by the spectre of the family he lost, Derek lives without the safety nets many of us take for granted. Significant life choices - involving financial difficulties, mental and physical health are always close to the surface. God's Promises Mean Everything reveals the unsettling fragility in the connections that make up our everyday experience. It is a personal, empathetic portrait of a man trapped in difficult circumstances. A story of disconnection and loss, but also of survival and daily rebellion.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308986282357,"sku":"9781916915046","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915046_facf6231-3577-4a54-a5ae-a1dd8a9e1e50.jpg?v=1786030308"},{"product_id":"9781911306986","title":"Born of the Sand and Sun","description":"During the 1948 Palestine war many Palestinians were forced to leave their homes. This same fate befell the desert tribes of the Bedouin, but their strong bond with the desert - the heart of their culture - could not be broken. Yet, today, the number of Bedouin people inhabiting their original territories is shrinking, and many are gradually losing their distinct identity. Born of Sand and Sun is not a conventional depiction of the life of a nomadic people nor does it try to capture the current suffering caused by the Israeli Palestinian conflict. It is a visual metaphor of the gradual disappearance of these brave desert people - all that is left for them are fragments covered with sand, which in time they will themselves become. Over a period of more than three years, Petra Basnakova spent time living in Bedouin communities, to better understand their way of life, and to experience the beauty and simplicity of their existence and their deeply rooted love of the desert itself. The book follows two storylines: the life journey of the Bedouin people and Basnakova's journey of getting to know them and becoming accepted by the Bedouin community. Czech Slovak based, Petra Basnakova, trained at the Tomas Bata University in Zlin. During her studies, she completed an internship at the Bezalel Academy of arts and design in Jerusalem, where she began working on her project about the Palestinian Bedouins. The series has won several awards, including Slovak Press Photo, Sony World Photography Awards and Ian Parry scholarship. Her work has been shown in many galleries and festivals including Photo London and Photo Israel in Tel Aviv.

It is the Fall of Man, falling from innocence into exile, a dark world of claustrophobic interiors, of low life bars and stained streets, of casual fornication in shabby bed and breakfast rooms. It is the fall from grace into forbidden spaces, where secrets fester behind closed doors and weary eyes. And it is a fall into nightmare and psychosis, where the self, in sickness, peoples the world with terrors. These are squalid scenes, such as Dostoevsky might have recognised, expressing the madness and obsession of those imprisoned there. Even looking at such a world, at such pictures, feels transgressive.

They were a beguiling series of beautiful women photographed in idyllic locations, mostly in Sweden. It was during this time that he had first met Caroline's Swedish mother, Barbro, yet none of the photographs were of her. Who were they all? For Furneaux these girlfriends evoked off-duty film stars from a bygone era. They were everyday goddesses encapsulating the essence of Scandinavian summers and youth: short and intensely sweet. Sleuth-like, Furneaux scoured the photographs for clues to who the women might be and how her father might have met them. She showed them to his brother and her mother, but they didn't recognise any of them. As the work progressed, however, she realised that what she was really trying to unlock was the identity of this young man, and the complex father he would become. By some miracle of light and time, these magnificent strangers had connected her with this insouciant version of her father, and given their relationship a new life. Caroline Furneaux is a photographer and writer based in London. Images from The Mothers I Might Have Had have been shown at FORMAT International Photography Festival and featured in magazines including the RPS Journal of Contemporary Photography. This is Furneaux's first book.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309375795573,"sku":"9781916915091","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915091_f6431e87-743a-4197-87c5-ab4cf2f41327.jpg?v=1786030311"},{"product_id":"9781916915138","title":"Writing in the Sand","description":"'The sandy beaches of North East England are beautiful... the high-spirited happenings are spontaneous, generous acts of Geordie exuberance.

Part of a larger project, the book focusses on the hysteria following the Pearl Harbour Attack, and how it impacted on people with Japanese ancestry. Over 120,000 people were sent to 10 internment camps across the United States. The book is deeply relevant to today's challenges: emigrating in pursuit of a dream, navigating societal changes brought about by conflict\/war, and struggling to establish identity, finding community, and reconciling belief\/religion. It reflects Kyugoro's experiences and those of countless other immigrants. MAKIKO designed a palm-size book, based on Kyugoro's hymnal. Discovering a distant familial connection to Lawson Inada, Oregon's poet laureate, led to a collaboration featuring three exclusive poems by him. MAKIKO is an international visual artist and author, based in the UK. A former mentee with Magnum Photos, she is currently at The Royal College of Art.

In Unyielding Floods, he photographs villagers trying to protect their homes and livelihoods against the catastrophic floods in South Sudan which are still ongoing. Over four years, Peter returned to these historic floods that have refused to recede, capturing the struggles of the villagers, their resilience and their heartache. When the floods emerged in 2019, villagers became trapped by new water borders, unable to flee. Many villages were destroyed, creating massive displacement. Refugee camps also became cut off by water. The economic damage of this climate crisis has been enormous. Crops failed as livestock perished, increasing widespread famine. Today, there is still no sign of the water receding. Towns resemble an everlasting sea with the roofs of people's homes protruding from the murky waters.

The local Muslim community stepped in to help raise funds and eventually a Lottery grant followed. Aware of this local Jewish culture, which decades earlier had thrived in the city, Nudrat Afza, a Muslim woman, decided to document it. With the support of members of the Jewish community she was given access to photograph in both the now demolished Orthodox synagogue and in the remaining Reform synagogue. Entitled Kehillah (Hebrew for congregation or community), the project is an invaluable record of Jewish worship in one of the nation's oldest Reform congregations.

Abril interrogates Western society's views, including medical and academic analyses, that overlook female suffering, hypermedicalise women, and neglect alternative explanations from spiritual and Indigenous beliefs. The project seeks to redirect the narrative away from victim-blaming towards a critical examination of the role of societal and political oppression in manifesting collective illness. Laia Abril focusses on long-term projects on uneasy and hidden realities about women rights, grief and biopolitics.

Climate change, political upheaval, social unrest, and collective traumas that, instead of bringing us closer, often push us further apart, isolating each of us in our own fragile bubble. Through this work, Mollica seeks to offer a space to pause, to look up, and to reflect — a quiet reminder of forces greater than ourselves, and of the perspectives we risk losing in the noise of modern life. The book includes texts by Iain Sinclair and Brad Feuerhelm.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368244719989,"sku":"9781916915169","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915169_1cac2e91-fb9d-4119-85d6-b5af66956ecc.jpg?v=1786030317"},{"product_id":"love-on-the-left-bank","title":"Love On The Left Bank","description":"Photographs by Ed Van der Elsken A new edition of one of the classics of photography by one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century.

Artists who were once hoodied, hidden and nocturnal are out in the open, working in broad daylight from cherry-picker platforms. In East Ended you see every code of cool fashion and attitude, alongside scenes of poverty and people on the streets trading in anything but the cool. Gentrification has brought a numming sameness. Yet look carefully and you'll spot the cheeky protest posters - political critique to climate change resistance - purposefully plastered over and defacing the ads.

On publication Summerfield received wide praise with the Guardian's Sean O Hagan describing Mother and Father as a '...profoundly sad and beautiful book.' In Pictures from the Garden the photographers, each of whom has drawn inspiration from Mother and Father, travelled to Summerfield's house in Oxford to discover a personal route to explore the emotions and themes that were evoked in the book. By photographing in the same space that set the scene for Summerfield's original work about his parents, the photographers imbued themselves in the physical and psychological world depicted in its pages. The relationship that connects us with those that brought us into the world is universal and yet unique in every instance. Pictures from the Garden represents seven independent journeys taken to discover the nature of the most complex relationship that is common to us all.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490323997045,"sku":"9781911306924","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911306924.jpg?v=1786442212"},{"product_id":"last-resort-forty-years-on","title":"The Last Resort: Forty Years On","description":"This special book is being published in association with the Martin Parr Foundation to coincide with an exhibition being shown at the Foundation’s Bristol-based gallery to honour Martin Parr following his death in December, 2025. Shot around the English seaside town of New Brighton between 1983 and 1985, 'The Last Resort' was one of the pioneering bodies of work driving British colour documentary photography and established Martin as one of Britain’s most influential photographers.The book includes a selection of images from the iconic 'Last Resort' series, as well as extensive archive material including photographs, contact sheets and items of ephemera from Martin’s personal collection. Isaac Blease, Archivist at the Foundation, explores the background to the project, the influences that led Martin to move from black and white photography to colour, and the initial exhibition of the work in Liverpool and then at the Serpentine Gallery in London. Peter Brawne, the  designer of the original 1986 book discusses how the design process was developed as well as the experience of working with Martin. Finally there is a short text by Susie Parr, Martin’s wife, in which she describes her perspective of New Brighton and of the first exhibition of the work at Liverpool’s Open Eye Gallery in 1985.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492236108149,"sku":"9781916915213","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915213.jpg?v=1786529065"},{"product_id":"step-by-step-1","title":"Step By Step","description":"Step by Step (1982-1989), is a study of girls and their mothers at a dancing school in North Shields, in North East of England, and their later lives after leaving the school. First published in 1989 and long out of print, this new edition of Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen's classic book has been extensively revised by Sirkka. It is printed in tritone to ensure the highest quality of the images in comparison to the original book. Sirkka followed the lives of the dancing daughters and their dance mothers over a six-year period, seeing how their dreams and their dancing came to sustain them in their tougher personal realities. Step by Step includes their insightful and witty narratives and explores their growing awareness of the challenges they face as women in their particularly challenging urban environment. This series was a strong influence on the development and writing of Lee Hall's play Dancer, which became the cult coming-of-age film Billy Elliot.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57510231966069,"sku":"9781916915206","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915206.jpg?v=1787130570"},{"product_id":"missing-katrice","title":"Missing Katrice","description":"On 28 November 1981, the day of her second birthday, Katrice Lee vanished from the NAAFI supermarket at Schloss Neuhaus, West Germany, while shopping with her mother and aunt. In a Cold War garrison town, before the era of mobile phones, CCTV or social media, the initial investigation fixed almost immediately on the idea that she had drowned in the nearby River Lippe. But the investigation carried out by the police and the military was deeply flawed. The area wasn't secured, border alerts were delayed, and witnesses were missed or not spoken to, sometimes for several years. No trace of Katrice or her bright red wellington boots was ever found. For the family, that sudden absence became their daily reality: a birthday that turned into a lifetime of searching, and a family forced to live with questions that never found answers. 'Missing Katrice' reflects a deeply personal connection for Stu McKenzie. He grew up in the same community in Germany where Katrice Lee disappeared in 1981, and the memory of the event has remained with him throughout his life.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57510234620277,"sku":"9781916915244","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915244.jpg?v=1787130572"},{"product_id":"the-last-resort-40th-anniversary-edition","title":"The Last Resort: 40th Anniversary Edition","description":"When Martin Parr's The Last Resort was first published in 1986 it divided both critics and audiences alike. Now 40 years on there is little doubt that it transformed documentary photography in Britain and established Martin as one of the world's leading photographers. The original 1986 design by Peter Brawne was also remarkable with its playful use of colourful shapes and objects throughout the book. Within no time at all it became recognised as a 'classic' and copies of the first edition are now highly sought by collectors worldwide. Steering a perilous course between objectivity and voyeurism, Parr viewed the decaying holiday resort of New Brighton and its holidaymakers in a way that was new, unique and deeply disturbing. And he did so in colour, something which at the time was seen as revolutionary for documentary work. For some, his camera seemed cold and cruel as it followed the working classes desperately pursuing their holiday dreams surrounded by dereliction and decay and wading through the apparently endless detritus of a pollution-ridden consumer society. Others felt it showed an affectionate, humorous and humanistic response from Parr. However it was viewed, it was undoubtedly a sharp, bitter satire of the Britain of the Thatcher years. For this special 40th anniversary edition we have reconstructed the original artwork as this no longer existed. Through careful time-consuming work we have managed to create as true a facsimile of the original edition as possible. We have also added a special slipcase designed by Peter Brawne, the book's original designer. Martin sadly died in December 2025. A member of the prestigious MAGNUM photo agency, he was internationally recognised as a brilliant satirist of contemporary life and led the development of British documentary photography with wit, style, and intelligence in a career that boasted numerous publications and exhibitions. His work is in innumerable major galleries and museums worldwide.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57524724924789,"sku":"9781916915251","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781916915251.jpg?v=1787742861"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/publisher-dewi-lewis-publishing.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
