Unseen UK A Book of Photographs by the People at Royal Mail / Stephen Gill

*古本のため経年並み。図版良好。

イギリス、ロイヤル・メール（Royal Mail）の郵便配達員たちによって撮影された写真を収めた作品集。総数2万枚に及ぶ写真の中から240枚がイギリスの写真家、スティーブン・ギルによって選定されています。配達員たちは、イギリス国内のあちこちで徒歩や自転車、車を使って何百万マイルもの距離を移動し業務に従事します。彼らが撮影した写真には、都市、郊外、そして農村における日々の暮らしの細部が写し出され、ロイヤル・メールの舞台裏を垣間見せてくれます。それらはイギリスをありのままに写しながら、ステレオタイプな英国像にとらわれません。美しい自然の風景や野生動物、配達員の前に立ちはだかる何段もの階段、彼らをお茶に招く馴染みの人々、そして犬たち。誰かが何かにカメラを向け、写真を撮らずにはいられなかったいくつもの瞬間が収められています。

*Standard condition for its age, plates fine.
