A Look At The Colonials _ Book By Parr


Martin Parr is famous in the UK for his depiction of the British people enjoying their seaside resorts. He has a distinctive style and certainly uses colour vigorously as he discovers the quirky side of the tourists and the locals.

Fremantle, Broome, and Port Hedland were his subjects for this book - and all the people he could find in them. He seems to have been to many of the tourist spots and seen a number of the visitors, though to be fair he also has captured a number of the regulars and locals in each of the areas. He has treated us about as well as he treated his fellow countrymen and women.

We've got 5 of his books on offer here - 4 sealed in their original cellophane. They go for $ 60 or so throughout the world but we have them for $ 45 - discount but still up to Parr...
