Marking the 40th anniversary of the most influential photobook in modern British history, this RRB edition revisits Martin Parr’s “The Last Resort.” Originally published in 1986, Parr’s saturated, unflinching look at the working-class seaside resort of New Brighton caused a scandal and redefined documentary photography. This anniversary volume includes previously unpublished images from the original sessions and a new essay by David Alan Mellor. It explores the enduring social and political relevance of the series, which captured a crumbling Britain on the edge of the Thatcher era. For collectors, this edition provides the highest fidelity reproduction of Parr’s early color palette to date.
