Review: "A Seaside Album tells the parallel stories of the evolution of Brighton, and neighbouring Hove, and the development of the practise of photography, from its invention through to the 1990s. It is also an account of the author's search for the photographs that illustrate the book so eloquently, and of his investigation, through these images, of his own social, cultural and geographical roots." "The majority of the 143 illustrations are previously unpublished and provide a vivid evocation of the varied artistic aspirations and vernacular applications of the photographic medium. The book includes images by such internationally renowned masters as William Henry Fox Talbot, Bill Brandt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Walker Evans, as well as introducing fine work by hitherto unrecognised masters such as William Constable, William Mason Junior, Edward Fox, and George Ruff Junior."--BOOK JACKET.
