GLOVER WRIGHT - Sussex in Photographs

London, United Kingdom, B. T. Batsford Limited, 1976. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Fine/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall 0713431970 Hardback Photographs by A. F. Kersting. Although there are 180 stunning topographical and architectural photographs from Anthony Kersting, long regarded as one of Britain's finest photographers, and an Introduction and captions full of Sussex History and Sussex Lore by Judith Glover, local historian and travel-writer, this is not merely another pretty picture book. The county has been split into its four main regions: North-East, South-East, North-West, South-West, and each is dealt with in great details. The coverage this book achieves is remarkable - even unique in its scope and quality. The famous Sussex beauty spots are here, of course, but so too are those wonderfully quirky, eccentric details which make the county, in many people's eyes, the most 'English' in the country. Illustrated throughout. Slight shelf wear to top edge and top corners of D/J.
