This item is signed by Chris Duffy, creator of the monograph and embossed with the archival stamp. This page is for the Special Limited First Edition Collectors book which includes 2. "This collection of memorable black and white photographs charts the capital at its coolest" - The London Magazine - July 2011. Originally released in 2011 the long-overdue first monograph of iconic photographer Brian Duffy received critical acclaim. Documenting a vast body of work from 1957 surrealism to 1980 album covers.

When the photographer Brian Duffy Died in May 2010, he was widely acclaimed as a driving force behind the English avant-garde of young photographers who defined the visual style of the Swinging Sixties. In 1980 Duffy felt that he had said all he needed to say in photography and, in a moment of madness, decided to burn all of his work. Fortunately, he was stopped before everything was destroyed.

This first publication of Duffy's work presents a wealth of imagery from the genius that was Duffy. "Thankfully, those works that survived now live on as a comprehensive cultural history of an emphatically progressive era" - The Independent on Sunday - June 2011.
