Hi, I have posted glowing reviews before about the photographs and books of James Ravilious. His books are quite hard to find, but I have just received a copy of "Down the Deep Lanes", which is still in print and available from Amazon UK, so for anyone who is interested, but hasn't been able to find one of his books, get your mouse moving:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Down-Deep-Lanes-Peter-Beacham/dp/1855227436/sr =1-2/qid=1163269817/ref=sr_1_2/202-8430541-3776616?ie=UTF8&s=books http://tinyurl.com/wo8oo It's a terrific book and shows off his work well, although I don't think it's as good a showcase as "An English Eye". To highlight how difficult to find some of his books are, look at the price of "A Corner of England", which I also own, and bought for about 10% of this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corner-England-James-Ravilious/dp/0718829433/s r=1-6/qid=1163269817/ref=sr_1_6/202-8430541-3776616?ie=UTF8&s=books http://tinyurl.com/y7wtlm I wonder if the high prices are because he has been picked up by the Leica crowd. Here is his website: http://www.jamesravilious.com/ and an interesting one I found earlier today which is very much in his spirit, and for which he sometimes worked: http://www.england-in-particular.info/ -- Cheers, Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
