Small crease to bottom right corner, small split to joint at foot of spine and front cover, bumping to head of spine and corners, some marking to white lower cover but overall the condition is very good considering its age and fragility. Internally very good. The introduction by James Bone is in English and the captions are in English and French. This English edition is scarce. Brandt's second book, A Night in London, was published in London and Paris in 1938. It was based on Paris de Nuit (1936) by Brassaï, whom Brandt greatly admired. The book tells the story of a London night, moving between different social classes and making use as with The English at Home of Brandt's family and friends. This is a very good copy of a ground-breaking collection of superb photographs. 'I photographed pubs, common lodging houses at night, theatres, Turkish baths, prisons and people in their bedrooms. London has changed so much that some of these pictures now have a period charm almost of another century.' Bill Brandt
