Description
London's streets and buildings have been the subject of some of the most iconic photographs in history. Between 1930 and 1980, photographers from around the world came to capture the city's changing face. Each brought their own unique perspective, often challenging or reinforcing national stereotypes. The resulting work creates a fascinating portrait of a great world city, with its residents, landscapes and communities on full display. This book accompanies a major exhibition at Tate Britain and showcases the breadth and variety of responses London provoked from visiting photographers during this period. The photographs featured in the book are accompanied by essays that explore both the photographers' contributions and the history of London. The collection includes works by some of the greatest names in twentieth-century photography, offering a unique glimpse into the city's transformation over several decades.
