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?

ICONS A centenary tribute to a great eye

ICONS is published for the centenary of the birth of Bill Brandt by the Bill Brandt Archive as its own centenary tribute to the work of a great eye. Containing 30 of Brandt's most famous images, it is a generous introduction to his multi-genre work: photojournalism, the nude, landscape, the urban scene, and the portrait.

Whether Brandt was taking pictures of London streets during the blackout or sleepers in the Underground during the Blitz; coal miners or high society in pre-war Britain; moody, pared-down landscapes or elegant, abstracted nudes, he always imbued his photographs with strangeness and mystery, with a Surrealist touch, with rich connotations.
