All of the original cards are part of the photographer's personal collection. There is no text. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Martin Parr's "From Our House To Your House". So cheesy it's great. "Martin Parr has put together another wonderful book from his personal collection. This time he shows us the American Christmas card. This is a fascinating eye-opener into American culture, as proud families everywhere (pets included) pose before the camera to send their Christmas greetings across the nation" (Publisher's blurb). In many ways, Martin Parr's aesthetic of affectionate ambivalence is most evident in his picture collections, that is, that he would lovingly keep what everyone else would discard, the archaeological work of the photographer-as-collector par excellence. "Warm, funny, and frequently hilarious, a wonderful collection of cards celebrating the American Christmas". Parr's oblique, indirect, and witty approach leaves a strong aftertaste. An absolute "must-have" title for Martin Parr collectors. This title is now collectible. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. The most influential and most important British photographer of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER MARTIN PARR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1899235345.
