Each a Glimpse ... : and ever again (Limited ed)

Alongside the long-awaited reprint of the classic railway photography book Each a Glimpse, Ian Allan Publishing are issuing a numbered, limited edition of the book in a slip case for collectors.

Each copy will be signed by the author. The book will have a plain slip case with an imitation leather book cover which is embossed. The name of Colin Gifford is synonymous with a particular style of artistic railway photography.

During the last decade of steam operation he was one of a number of railway photographers who travelled widely recording the steam scene in a slightly more avant garde and impressionistic way than many of his contemporary and more traditional photographer colleagues. As a designer, he was briefly employed by Ian Allan Ltd and his photographs were one of the features of Modern Railways magazine during this period.

As a result of his photographic work, he produced four books, of which Each a Glimpse... is perhaps the best-known and the most commercially successful.

First published in 1970 and long out of print, the book included around 270 mono illustrations in an original and unique artistic style. Subsequent to his career at Ian Allan Ltd, Gifford continued as a photographer and designer, with his work being featured in exhibitions and on postage stamps.

This fully reoriginated and redesigned second edition of the book includes the bulk of the original images and text from the first edition.The name of Colin Gifford is synonymous with a particular style of artistic railway photography.
