Tony Armstrong Jones - London - 1958

First edition of London by Tony Armstrong Jones with stunning black and white images, very well printed in gravure printing. Large format hardback in good condition. Clean interior, pages without creases, some age related toning. Firm binding. Cloth covered hardcover with sings of handling, dustjacket with some missing parts, protected by a mylar sleeve. Book contains a beautiful signature, possibly of Armstrong Jones, but cannot be guaranteed. This is Antony Armstrong Jones's (later Lord Snowdon) first photography book, published when he was just 28 years old and two years before his marriage to Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II. Snowdon's focus was on the people of London going about their everyday business. In his photographs he captures the fleeting moment and reveals the humour and idiosyncrasies of London life. Chapter headings include 'Going', 'Waiting', 'Adorning', 'Judging', 'Reading', 'Posing', 'Dancing' and 'Loving'. Antony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, was a British photographer and filmmaker. He is best known for his portraits of world notables, many of them published in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and other major venues; over 100 of his photographs are in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery.
