Beaton in Vogue by Josephine Ross
Cecil Beaton (1904-1980) was a man of dazzling charm and style, and his talents were many. In his twenties, he recorded London and New York society in needle-sharp words and drawings, and then, at Conde Nasts insistence, in photographs. This book introduces articles, drawings and photographs by Beaton dating from the 1920s to the 1970s.
