London. Portrait of a City, Paul Smith Limited Edition Book with Signed Fine Art Print ‘Piccadilly Circus’ 1960s, 1960s

London Calling! Piccadilly Circus Edition.

This Limited Edition is Tailor-made for TASCHEN by legendary local fashion designer Paul Smith, invited to design a bespoke fabric to line the cover. Limited to 500 numbered copies, it is accompanied by a fine art print ‘Piccadilly Circus’ (1960s) on archival paper, signed by Elmar Ludwig. London has innumerable faces, constantly evolving and growing through a complex past and shifting present, while holding on strong to its sense of humor, character, and bulldog spirit. This stunning Art Edition pays tribute to the British capital in all its glory with hundreds of photographs, many previously unpublished, alongside essays, quotations, and pop culture references.

Page after page of stunning photographs, reproduced big and bold like the city itself, London at last gets the photographic tribute it deserves.
