All the traits of the black and white photographs are there: close observations of bodily gestures, definition of personal and relational space, everyday absurdities, and acute recognition of urban form in street perspectives, roof tops and alleyways. Added to this is a new found awareness of colour as it livens up the otherwise darkened dusty street scenes. Shirley is drawn to the bright cleanliness of a group of children playing in colourful clothes. The sunshine makes the dusty air sparkle softly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e36 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprinted in the UK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003estaple bound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14cm x 20cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Café Royal Books:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\"Café Royal Books is the idea of Craig Atkinson, an artist and lecturer. Our first title was published in 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eCraig wanted to create a way to make artwork accessible to a wider audience. The solution needed to be small, functional, open to collaboration, affordable, and work independently of galleries. These ideas remain at the heart of what we do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWe’re a small family-run publisher based in England, next to the woodland, dunes, and windswept beaches of the North West coast — we’re always inspired by the vastness, calm and energy of this environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eWe make weekly publications, focussing on documentary photography linked to Britain and Ireland, printed and bound locally by a small 170 year old printing company. Libraries and museums around the world collect the books, so the work will remain preserved and accessible for many years. Our books don’t need batteries, or screens. We hope they will be used, create conversation and be passed down through family generations.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eExplore other titles from the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/unitom.info\/collections\/cafe-royal-books\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCafé Royal Books\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ecollection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Café Royal Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40240917217367,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2009\/7115\/files\/Early_Colour_Hulme_Manchester_1965_Shirley_Baker_1_f2a32ae0-ab69-4e25-84f9-ef1a9434e67f.jpg?v=1787064739","url":"https:\/\/unitom.info\/products\/early-colour-hulme-manchester-1965-shirley-baker","provider":"UNITOM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
