Expanded to include new unpublished images and completely redesigned, this book contains Tony Ray Jones's most important body of work on English society, which has exerted an enormous influence on the development of British photography since the 1970s. In his brief but productive life, Ray-Jones documented British customs and identity in a remarkable series of photographs of the English at leisure, displaying his wryly humorous, subtle observa - tions of the national character. Aperture is pleased to release a newly expanded and updated reissue of this retrospective, presenting his most iconic work along with over thirty previously unpublished photographs and including new examinations of the work by Greg Hobson and Martin Parr. This authoritative monograph-which will be the only book in print of Ray-Jones's work-reassesses this photographer's legacy, presenting the best of his photo - graphs and bringing our attention once more to one of the most important figures in post war British photography.
