Description
A1 - The Great North Road by Paul Graham is a groundbreaking colour photography book that marked a significant turning point in British photography.
First published in 1983, this self-published book had a profound impact on the UK photographic scene, uniting traditional social documentary with fresh colour approaches. Spanning the length of Britain and into Edinburgh, Graham travelled extensively along the 'Great North Road' to record the people, buildings, and landscape of early 1980s Britain.
Now 40 years old, this book remains a powerful work of art, offering a historical document of Margaret Thatcher's government and the UK's declining industrial base. A key work in Graham's trilogy of iconic books, which also includes Beyond Caring (1985) and Troubled Land (1986), A1 - The Great North Road is being re-published by MACK as part of a larger project to make these influential works available again.
