London 1958–59

Editorial Reviews Book Description

Magnum photographer Sergio Larrain visited London in 1958 to find a city firmly rooted in tradition. Yet in its streets, its parks, its clubs and its cafes Larrain witnessed a city moving towards a new decade-a changing society. These powerful photographs present a vivid portrait of a coal-fired, smoke-laden London which has long since disappeared. About the Author Born 1931 in Santiago, Chile.
