This hardback book is in very good condition. Externally there is some mild edge wear to the covers and one light scratch on the back cover. Internally all the pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Published to coincide with an exhibition at The Photographers Gallery the book Focuses on a formative period of Shirley Baker's practice and features many previously unseen photographs, in particular her startling colour work from Summer 1965, sequenced as an unfolding visual narrative. A foreword by Professor Griselda Pollock, and an original short story by author Jackie Kay offer a contemporary reading of the quiet drama of Baker's photographs and serves to underline the photographer's principal significance as a compassionate as well as a humorous teller of stories that make visible the spectrum of human resilience.
