Presents, in a Limited Edition format, Rene Groebli's "London 1949". Evocative and imagistic, a London that no longer exists, except in these wonderful photographs. "A few days before Christmas 1949, the young Swiss photographer arrived at Victoria station in fog-bound, bombed-out London. For two weeks, he wandered aimlessly around the city with his Rolleiflex camera. The result is compiled in this edition with high-quality tritone offset printed images. The second part of the book contains a series of images shot at London's Crystal Palace Park in 1951" (Publisher's blurb). Rene Groebli was 22 years old when he first set foot in London and took these photographs. He has finally published them, in an outstanding volume, at the age of 89. An absolute "must-have" title for Rene Groebli collectors. This copy is one of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such on the title page.
