Ian David Baker Younger Days

London. Aubrey Walter. 1993. First Edition. Small 4to, 64pp. Printed wraps as issued. Numerous Black & White plates. Text in English. Softcover.. Book: Near Fine. .


Shot in the 80s David Baker photographed youths around earl's court, seedy pool halls and in the park- in a world that really does no longer exist in the same way. Rent boys, fellas cruising in the park, tough lads, young mods, skins and the like, in a London that seems to be another planet when compared to the present day. Quite romantic, and quietly malancholic.
