John D Green. Birds of Britain.

Untitled Document
Green, John D. Birds of Britain. London: Bodley Head, 1967. First Edition. Folio. 128pp (unpaginated). Red boards in photographic dustwrapper. Very minor wear to head and tail of spine, a little tape residue and grubbiness to endpapers. Much better than usually seen. More images available on request. VG+ in VG+ dust-jacket. Hardcover.

A stellar and rather lavish who's who of the 60's. Very beautiful and huge photographs for the most part unpublished elsewhere, and featuring amongst others: Charlotte Rampling, Pattie Boyd, Susannah York, Ingrid Boulting, Julie Christie, Sarah Miles, Jane Asher, Quant, Marianne Faithfull, Jane Barry, Lady Curzon, Jean Shrimpton's younger sister Chrissie etc. etc. Very well put together a la Veronese, Haskins etc. Amazing.
