Koetzle 67 f. – Erste Ausgabe. – „This is a book picturing London – London as only the Londoner knows it. … You will see something of the private life of the world’s biggest city. … In what he has say about his pictures, Bill Brandt gives his creed as a photographer – tells what it is that attracts him in making photographs, how he finds his subjects, the effects he aims at and how he tries to achieve them. He is not a photographer who has a single technical formula for his approach, or that dangerous facility with words which he can cover up a problem by over-simplifying it. Bill Brandt does not set out to explain either the moods of London or his own moods, reflected here in his images of the great city. He merely hopes to share his views and vistas with others“ (Klappentext). – Schutzumschlag am Rücken berieben und mit teils verso hinterlegten Randläsuren, sonst gut erhalten.
