First Thus. 22 x 30cm very good hardback, no dust jacket. Signed on the pre-title page by the photographer, Humphrey Spender to his friend, artist and poet Julian Trevelyan. Mass-Observation originally aimed to record everyday life in Britain through a panel of around 500 untrained volunteer observers who either maintained diaries or replied to open-ended questionnaires (known as directives). The organisation also paid investigators to anonymously record people's conversation and behaviour at work, on the street and at various public occasions, including public meetings and sporting and religious events. The creators of the Mass-Observation project were three former students from Cambridge: anthropologist Tom Harrisson (who left Cambridge before graduating),poet Charles Madge and filmmaker Humphrey Jennings. Collaborators included literary critic William Empson, photographers Humphrey Spender and Michael Wickham, collagist Julian Trevelyan, novelists Inez Pearn and G.B. Edward. Mass-Observation was a large-scale investigation into the habits and customs of the people of Britain that was started in Bolton in 1937. Bolton was named Worktown by Tom Harrisson.The project focused on Bolton initially and during the Second World War was enlisted by the Government to monitor public morale in the population as a whole. The project still exists today and the archive is currently held at the University of Sussex.…

Limited edition, number 23 of 500 copies. Each plate signed by the photographer, accompanied by the certificate of authenticity. This portfolio, produced to celebrate the photography of the magazine Picture Post (1938-1957), provides a stunning snapshot of English life in this period. The Picture Post, described as "a magazine of brilliant individuality", featured some of the most notable photojournalism of the age, providing photographs from key conflicts of period and images documenting day-to-day life in England (Barker, p. 68). Often compared to America's Life Magazine, the Picture Post photographic archive is now viewed as an important historical resource. This portfolio includes two photographs each by: John Chillingworth, Bert Hardy, Thurston Hopkins, Raymond S. Kleboe, Frank Pocklington, Grace Robertson, George Rodger, Humphrey Spender, and Carl Sutton. Paul Barker, Review: The Real Story of Picture Post, Michael Hallett (RSA Journal, Vol. 143, No. 5458, 1995). Folio. Original white card portfolio, panels printed in black and red.
