Beaton in Vogue by Josephine Ross

Cecil Beaton -1904-1980- was a man of dazzling charm and style, and his talents were many. In his twenties he recorded London and New York society in needlesharp words and drawings, and then, at Conde Nasts insistence, in photographs. In this classic book, now in a sumptuous paperback edition after many years out of print, Josephine Ross selects and introduces articles, drawings and photographs by Beaton dating from the 1920s to the 1970s. It includes Beatons essays and vignettes on high society and its denizens, as well as such stars of the arts as Greta Garbo.
