THE BOOK |
|
|
Love London has 180 photographs taken by Barbara Chandler over a period of over 20 years. The earliest was taken in 1986 of a rag-and-bone man with horse and cart, but many were taken in 2010, when this book was taking shape. Then there are over 100 quotations matched with the photographs, and you can see just a very few of them below.The book is a hard-back, well-designed, and small enough to fit in your pocket – a coffee table tome it is not.
