Introduction by Martin Parr: "... Mitchell has continued to shoot in Leeds and a small surrounding area of Northern England, but his work has rarely been appreciated or indeed seen... One of the roles of this volume is to correct this oversight and to demonstrate what a fine documentary photographer Mitchell is. The images are considered, classic environmental portraits, taken well before this style enjoyed its recent revival. The full charm of Mitchell's work is embodied in images of shops and factories with owners or work force standing proudly in front of their businesses..." Contains notes to plates at rear. Minor scuff on front free endpaper, else fine. Fine condition. Item #49629
