"Martin Parr's second contribution takes us to Colombo, Kandy, and Newara Eliya, Sri Lanka. This colorful little book shows some of the lighter sides of colonialism-gone-awry" (Publisher's blurb). The color print was utilized by the New Yorker Magazine as the accompanying image to a short story by the British writer Tessa Hadley, one of the finest writers of our time. Parr is an ironist/satirist whose oblique, indirect, and witty approach leaves a strong aftertaste. An absolute "must-have" title for Martin Parr collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pen on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on verso by Martin Parr. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.
