A startling and intimate view of different worlds within London as seen through the eyes and lives of its inhabitants. Ninety-six stunning black and white photographs capture the local lower-class people of East London, the middle-class people of Battersea and Islington and finally the upper-class world of Mayfair and Kensington. Brandt was a master of social realism. He used the camera to capture the poignancy of London life. This book is a vivid and evocative portrait of a city clinging to an old social order, on the brink of the extraordinary upheaval of World War II.-- Publisher's description.
