New York: Rizzoli, 1997. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket. A very large format volume.

Everyday images - light shining luminous thrugh the veins of a stretched tobacco leaf, the tatooed trails of a man's weathered face - become familiar icons of this foreign place.

London: Barrie and Jenkins, 1989. A Fine unmarked copy with dustjacket which has a small closed tear. 176 pages (though they are not paginated).Picture Post represented a new kind of British journalism when it was launched by its founder, Edward Hulton, under the editorship of Stefan Lorant and Tom Hopkinson in October 1938. Subtitled Hulton's National Weekly, it quickly became a national institution. Authoritative, international in perspective, objective, idealistic, witty but not trivial, it achieved the status of a unique chronicle of its time. Established authors of the calibre of Rebecca West, Cyril Connolly and Somerset Maugham contributed; but what gave Picture Post its special journalistic character was the way in which the photographs, with their distinctive captions, dominated the reporting. On its demise in June 1957, there was nothing in journalism to take its place. PLEASE NOTE: A LARGE HEAVY BOOK OF 1.2 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST… Read More
