From the blurb: "Frank Meadow Sutcliffe worked almost exclusively in and around the small North Yorkshire fishing port of Whitby and it is partly because of this that his work captures the essential atmosphere of life in all its facets in this isolated part of Victorian England.A study of his photographs will reveal that one quality more than any other places him apart from the majority of photographers of his period - a time when equipment and materials placed severe bounds on the freedom of technique which present-day photographers take so much for granted - and this is his empathy with his subjects, a talent which, in our more sophisticated age, could well have made him an outstanding film or television director. Copy no. 272. Fine in Very Good dustwrapper.
