Seventy or so photographs with accompanying texts. The selection is by Steele-Perkins, the texts are by Steele-Perkins and/or Messer (there's no indication of who did which). The photographs are mostly from 1971 and later, and mostly by British photographers, some justly famous (Ray-Jones), many unjustly obscure, some understandably obscure.
