{"product_id":"evocations-of-place-robert-elwall-9781858946382","title":"Evocations of Place: The Photography of Edwin Smith","description":"Hailed by the poet and architectural historian Sir John Betjeman as 'a genius at photography', Edwin Smith (1912-1971) was one of Britain's foremost photographers. At the time of his death he was widely regarded as without peer in his sensitive renditions of historic architecture and his empathetic evocations of place. The recurrent themes of Smith's work - a concern for the fragility of the environment; an acute appreciation of the need to combat cultural homogenization by safeguarding regional diversity; and a conviction that architecture should be rooted in time and place - are as pressing today as when Smith first framed them in his elegant compositions. By providing the first in-depth survey of his work, this book introduces Smith's poignant imagery to a new generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Elwall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1858946387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781858946382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Merrell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 9.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Robert Elwall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939030368511,"sku":"9781858946382","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c8e3cdb2-bb44-452a-9af0-f3adaa0e981c.jpg?v=1681439086","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/evocations-of-place-robert-elwall-9781858946382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
