Suffolk In Photographs

London England: B. T. Batsford, 1976. Hardback. First Edition. Couple of small tears to edge of D/J. Photography by Anthony Kersting. When John Burke, historian, novelist, travel-writer, dedicated man of Suffolk got together with Anthony Kersting, long regarded as one of the finest topographical and architectural photographers in Britain, their collaboration was bound to procude a view of Suffolk at once wide-ranging, full of enthusiasm, knowledge, skill and, perhaps most importantly, a true affection for the county. They managed to get, in these 150 photographs, captions and introductions, the quart into the proverbial pint pot. Their personal view of this delightfully varied county will serve not only as an informed guide to the traveller who wishes to see in advance the land - and sea-scapes, great country houses, traditional windmills, historic towns, picturesquely thatched and pargeted cottages and, of course, those wonderful Suffolk churches, before he plans his holiday but also as a souvenir of and tribute to a county which has fiercely defended the traditional character of its landscape and architecture against all the more destructive forces of change. 96 pages. 150 photographs. 1 map.
