The quintessential British landscape--the seaside--is the subject
of these nostalgic Polaroids by the acclaimed English photographer
Jon Nicholson. Anyone who grew up holidaying on England's beaches
is familiar with the distinctive features of these historic
resorts--not the exclusive haunts of the rich and famous, but the
gritty, often rocky shores of the Atlantic and the Irish and North
Seas, filled with amusement arcades, bathing huts, beach umbrellas,
and people of all ages and classes. Jon Nicolson's Polaroid SX-70
camera is the perfect vehicle to capture the color and character of
summers at the sea. At once immediate and ephemeral, these
delicately hued, slightly muted images taken with original,
out-of-date film stock depict the faded glory of Yarmouth's giant
piers, Brighton's pebbly shores, the Blackpool Pleasure Beach
amusement park, and many other resorts across Britain. Each of the
70 photographs is beautifully reproduced on its own page with
descriptive captions. A foreword by Joseph Galliano provides a wry,
contemporary perspective on these beloved, centuries-old locations.
