Capturing the English countryside in iconic and authentic black-and-white photographs, this important collection showcases a life that holds fast to vanishing rural traditions. Affectionate yet unsentimental?with images that present the harsh realities of bloodstained slaughterhouses alongside a nostalgic night hunt?these photographs encompass the common nature and soul of rustic peoples, whose tough grittiness and humor shine through the camera. With a deep appreciation of an idyllic lifestyle, this ethnography is a celebratory document of a threatened existence.

Paperback. Condición: New. In powerful black-and-white images, the award-winning photographer Chris Steele-Perkins records the lives and pursuits of people in and around the former pit villages of Northumbria and County Durham. Alongside characterful portraits of farmers, horsemen, pigeon fanciers, falconers and vets, he captures - in sometimes graphic detail - huntsmen with dogs, with ferrets, and the illicit 'lampers' who operate by night.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Returning to the North East in 2001 to document the Durham Coalfield, at one time the heartland of the British coal industry, Chris Steele-Perkins found himself in that exurban culture that we now associate with "Billy Elliot". This world of "lamping" (for rabbits), ferreting, whippet racing, grouse shooting, pigeon fancying and the rearing of birds of prey is a survival of what D. H. Lawrence once described as "a curious cross between industrialism and the old agricultural England of Shakespeare and Milton". Chris Steele-Perkins has memorably recorded this with visual wit, and a constant eye for the extraordinary. Nor is he at all sentimental: the harsh realities of blood-stained slaughter-houses and the vandalism of fly-tipping in the open countryside aren't excluded. His photographs, he says, "serve as both eulogy and elegy". This is a book of photographs about the people who use and work the English countryside and it is about people and their relationship to animals: ferrets, dogs, pigs, birds horses and more, memorably recorded with visual wit, and a constant eye for the extraordinary. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781904794202
