113 pages, indexed plus a catalogue of Howard Coster's work in the National Portrait Gallery collection. The edges are lightly bumped, else immaculate. "This collection captures the personalities of the principal players in the artistic and creative ferment of the mid-1920s to 1946. Coster's effects are always carefully judged, often relying on minimal lighting for dramatic impact.". Published in connection with the exhibition Howard Coster Camera Portraits of the Twenties and Thirties held at the National Portrait Gallery from 28 June to 8 September 1985.
