Val Hennessy. In The Gutter.

Val Hennessy. In The Gutter.

Hennessy, Val. In The Gutter. London: Quartet, 1978. First Edition. 4to, 96pp. Stiff photographic wraps. Profusely illustrated with colour photographs by Michael Haines. Covers a little creased. More images available on request. VG+. Softcover.

One of the more stylish (and a little odd) punk photobooks, gig shots, street shots of Toyah Wilcox, Suby Barnes, Dee Marsh etc. contrasted with african tribal make-up, piercings etc. Stemmed from her project on religion, so a little different to most punk books of the same period. Very nice.
