Born on March 13, 1925, in Eastnor, Herefordshire, she served in the Women's Royal Naval Service during World War II before studying photography at Guildford School of Art from 1946 to 1950.In 1949, Bown began her prolific career with The Observer newspaper, capturing candid images of prominent figures such as Bertrand Russell, Samuel Beckett, Queen Elizabeth II, and The Beatles. Her minimalist approach utilized natural light and a simple camera setup, allowing her to seize spontaneous moments that revealed the essence of her subjects. Throughout her career, Bown received numerous accolades, including being appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1985 and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1995. Her work has been exhibited at prestigious institutions like the National Portrait Gallery in London and is held in various permanent collections. Jane Bown's legacy endures through her timeless portraits, which continue to influence and inspire the field of photography. She passed away on December 21, 2014, at the age of 89.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 26 x 29.7 cm, 2.487 Kg; 396 pages with colour illustrations; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jacket has edge wear, and scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. Interior with minor signs of wear. Very good condition overall.; This book accompanies a major V&A exhibition that explores three hundred years of mutual fascination between East and West, a period of discoveries, encounters and exchanges initiated by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama''s discovery of a sea route to India in 1948. This established, for the first time, direct relations between Europe and maritime Asia and ushered in a dynamic period of commercial, artistic and technological exchange. This compelling story is presented through wide-ranging essays by leading international scholars, including specialists from the V&A. The text is complemented by a sumptuous range of images, many of these remarkable and luxurious pieces being published for the first time. Discoveries, the book''s opening section, examines the western fascination for the materials and technologies of Asia, which existed even before direct contact was established, and charts the route that early Europeans took to the Indies and the new, sophisticated worlds they found there. Encounters, the second section, looks at the human dimension of the story, the meeting of peoples from East and West in different spheres, from highly formalised court audiences to intimate relationships. The exotic visitors from the West aroused much curiosity in Asia as demonstrated in the many Asian depictions of foreigners and their ships. This section also explores how these pale-skinned, strangely dressed peoples were perceived in the East and how images of them were appropriated into existing Asian iconographies. The final section, Exchanges, explores cross-influences in taste, technology and trade. In Europe there was an immediate demand for luxuries such as porcelain, lacquer and textiles made in Asia but suited to western living. In Asia, it was European technology that was most sought after. Clocks, guns, maps and lenses were all imported and simulated by different Asian cultures. In its close examination of the relationships diplomatic, religious and personal between East and West, this book provides both an important scholarly record of this vibrant period in world history and a beautiful document of the works of art and industry that it produced.

David Bailey's photographic record of the landscape of NW1. The book was something of a departure for Bailey. To capture the images he left his glamour-filled studio and took to the streets of his local neighbourhood, photographing the buildings and landscape from a local's perspective. An early working-title for the project was 'Banalities', the idea being to capture technically perfect shots of unresponsive buildings, but Bailey's affection for his local surroundings and the realisation that he was recording a vanishing world led to a much more personal and reflective series of photographs. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. We welcome questions about our books and we are happy to provide any extra images.
