A very small edition

Mark Haworth-Booth, former senior curator & photographic historian at London's Victoria & Albert Museum has written an eloquent introduction to each section and as a lifelong expert on Bill Brandt, brings these once radical pictures to life once more. We have used rare vintage prints and negatives from the Archive, and the book is produced to an exacting standard, with over 140 duotone images. 

There are 100 platinum prints made, hand crafted by Max & Paul Caffell, all in the exact same size as the book (285 x 350mm), stamped with the archive blindstamp and numbered.

Why limited editions?

CATALOGUE presenting Bill Brandt's silver gelatin limited edition

Bill Brandt is regarded as one of the great paragons of British photography.

His singular eye gave him a unique take on the quintessence of Britishness, as he formed an archive of images that are as socially powerful as they are visually poetic.

Brandt is known for documenting Britain and its people - the rich and poor, the celebrated artist and the unknown miner - but also for his idiosyncratic nude studies that obsessed him from 1951.
