BEATON, Cecil. British Photographers, London: William Collins, 1944. Hardcover (paper covered boards), 9 x 6 ½ inches, 48 pages, 35 screen-gravure and 5 color halftone illustrations, dustjacket.
This slender volume, part of the series “Britain in Pictures,†features Beaton's take on historic and contemporary British photography. He includes work by nineteenth-century figures such as William Henry Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton, and Julia Margaret Cameron; the art photographers O. G. Rejlander and Henry Peach Robinson; World War II combat pictures, and, shamelessly, some of his own portraits. The images are printed in high-quality gravure, except for the color halftones. Very good condition
