His third contribution to the One Picture Book Series, an homage-of-sorts to the iconic British ritual, drinking tea (long since passed on to her former colonies as well) . Beautifully captured and evoked in Parr's trademark saturated colors, "7 Cups of Tea" is a continuation of the exploration that Parr began with "7 Communist Still Lifes" and followed up with "7 Colonial Still Lifes". It marks a return to top form for the unsustainably prolific photographer. An absolute "must-have" title for Martin Parr collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in black 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. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $150. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 6 color plates, 1 original print. The most important and most influential British photographer of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK AND MARTIN PARR TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1580053572.
