Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) was a man of dazzling charm and style, and his talents were many. In his twenties he recorded London and New York society in needle-sharp words and drawings, and then, at Conde Nast's insistence, in photographs. The resulting work earned him a place among the great chroniclers of fashion.
• In this classic book, now in a sumptuous paperback edition after many years out of print, Josephine Ross selects and introduces articles, drawings and photographs by Beaton dating from the 1920s to the 1970s.
• It includes Beaton's essays and vignettes on high society and its denizens, as well as such stars of the arts as Greta Garbo, Ralph Richardson, Pablo Picasso and David Hockney. It also reproduces Beaton's war photographs, drawings and writings, from bombed London to China and the North Africa Desert.
• Beaton loved Vogue, and his contributions testify to the wit, imagination and professionalism that the man and the magazine always had in common.

He did continue, eventually having to work around his limitations but died within a few years. It was for his work in the studio that Beaton was best known and best remembered. This book from Thames and Hudson is intended to demonstrate Beaton's talents. The book is authored by a former Vogue staffer, the magazine where much of his fashion work appeared and which helps explain the title. Examples of his broader range of photography also appeared in other magazines and in the photography annuals which were once very popular. He was also featured in several retrospective exhibitions, exclusively or as one of several, both in respect of his photography and also his design work.
• This book covers all areas of Beaton's photographic work plus a few selected essays on some of the personalities of this time or aspects of his work. The illustrations are many and the large, coffee-table-sized pages do them full justice. For a paperback, it may even be described as 'lavish'. Although the style of much of Beaton's work, …"
