„This is a book picturing London – London as only the Londoner knows it.
… You will see something of the private life of the world’s biggest
city. … In what he has say about his pictures, Bill Brandt gives his
creed as a photographer – tells what it is that attracts him in making
photographs, how he finds his subjects, the effects he aims at and how
he tries to achieve them. He is not a photographer who has a single
technical formula for his approach, or that dangerous facility with
words which he can cover up a problem by over-simplifying it. Bill
Brandt does not set out to explain either the moods of London or his own
moods, reflected here in his images of the great city. He merely hopes
to share his views and vistas with others“ (Klappentext). –
