Set against the backdrop of the 1980s and 90s, this book explores the vibrant world of editorial photography during a time marked by economic prosperity and cultural shifts. It delves into the influence of the Thatcher years, capturing the essence of a confident yuppie generation that embraced a hedonistic lifestyle. Through striking visuals and insightful commentary, the narrative highlights how this era shaped both the art of photography and societal attitudes towards wealth and indulgence.
Throughout Britain's length and breadth, ancient tribes, druids, Celtic saints, medieval knights, and 18th-century landowners have bestowed upon future generations a wealth of astonishing sights, structures, and landmarks. These awesome sights appear in evocative color photographs, richly enhanced with the history, legends, and folktales that surround them. Imagine dancing maidens and unfortunate princes turned to stone in Devon and Cornwall; water made holy in Wales; and the witch who milked the giant cow in Shropshire. These are treasures worth cherishing. 9 7/8 X 7 1/2. All in Color
