Author Description

For more than 50 years, Norman Parkinson was one of Britain's leading exponents of fashion and portrait photography. A reappraisal of his work, this book covers his early ground-breaking fashion work for Harper's Bazaar in the 1930s, his coverage for Vogue in rural wartime England and internationally in the 1950s, his exuberant view of London in the 1960s, through to his later work for Town and Country in the United States, as well as a selection of his many portraits. This retrospective contains both famous and unfamiliar photographs, having been drawn from Parkinson's extensive archive.
