From the legendary David Bailey comes this collection of photographs – a tribute to his wife, the model Catherine Bailey. Divided into five sections – nudes, fashion, pregnancy, children and beauty – these images capture her in different incarnations, as wife, mother, lover, seductress…and as tramp. The text is provided by Fay Weldon, a close friend of both David and Catherine Bailey. She explores the relationship between the photographer and his wife, and wider themes such as the interaction of commerce and art, the status of photography as a “real” art-form and the different ways men and women see the world. Good condition, small stain on spine and front cover. Signed on inside page by owner.

The story of photographer, David Bailey, telling of his life and work from 1957 to 1969. Beginning with his early days in London’s East End, it follows his progress through his first photographic experiences as an assistant to John French; his early years with Vogue; his close relationship with the stars of rock music-which resulted in images of bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones that form the iconography of the 1960s; and his friendships and love affairs with some of the period’s beautiful women-among them models Jean Shrimpton and Penelope Tree and the actress Catherine Deneuve. The book brings together some of Bailey’s most famous photographs, as well as images which seek to show an unknown side of the man, such as pictures of the East End.
