Colin Garratt Libri
Colin Garratt è stato un fotografo ferroviario il cui lavoro si è concentrato sull'evocare il fascino e la storia del viaggio su rotaia attraverso il suo obiettivo. Spesso pubblicava album fotografici in cui selezionava e corredava di didascalie le opere di altri fotografi. Il suo approccio alla pubblicazione, in cui si elencava come autore principale con il suo nome sul dorso, ha suscitato discussioni sull'autorialità e sul riconoscimento degli artisti originali. La sua eredità risiede nella sua vasta documentazione visiva del mondo ferroviario.






A completely original tour de force of photography and text displaying living steam locomotion at its most dramatic.
From the early years of steam power to today?s high-speed passenger trains, this volume spans nearly two centuries of history. Divided into three sections, the book is organized chronologically, documenting developments and innovations in a concise and authoritative text.
This exciting book has been heralded as the finest visual record of British Tramways ever published. Recognising the depth and content of Henry Priestley's photography, Colin Garratt embarked on the task of collating a representative example of his work embracing the whole of Britain. This was done in conjunction with the National Tramway Museum in Crich, Derbyshire where Henry Priestley's tramway legacy is being conserved.During the spring of 1995, when the final stages of this book were in production, Colin Garratt undertook a series of recorded interviews with Henry Priestley. These have proved a fascinating insight into the remarkable career of this little known photographer whose creative work has spanned a period of over 75 years. The originals of these tapes are now also held at the National Tramway Museum.It is with great pride that Milepost presents this book which along with a new volume on the railway legacy of the Rev. A.W.V. Mace, is the first to be produced by the newly formed publishing division of Milepost 92.
