NEW REVISED EDITION<br />
Bruce Davidson<br />
England / Scotland 1960<br />
In 1960, after an intense year photographing a notorious Brooklyn street gang “The Jokers”, Bruce Davidson decided<br />
to remove himself from the tension and depression of that work. He received an assignment to photograph Marilyn<br />
Monroe during the making of John Houston’s The Misfits in the Nevada desert, and then travelled to London on commission<br />
for Queen magazine. Published by Jocelyn Stevens, Queen was devoted to British lifestyle and Davidson was<br />
charged, with no specific agenda, to spend a couple of months touring England and Scotland to create a visual portrait<br />
of the two countries.<br />
England / Scotland 1960 offers a poetic insight into the heart of English and Scottish cultures. Reflecting a post-war<br />
era in which the revolutions of the 1960s had not quite yet entered the mainstream, Davidson’s photographs reveal<br />
societies driven by difference – the extremes of city and country life, of the landed gentry and the common people.<br />
Published for the first time in its entirety in 2005, this new edition has a larger ideal format chosen by Davidson initially<br />
for his Black & White (<strong>2012</strong>), and now the standard size for his future publications with <strong>Steidl</strong>.<br />
Born in 1933, Bruce Davidson began photographing at the age of ten in Oak Park, Illinois. Davidson studied at the<br />
Rochester Institute of Technology and Yale University, before being drafted into the army. After leaving military service<br />
in 1957, he freelanced for Life and in 1958 became a member of Magnum Photos. Davidson’s work is held in many major<br />
museum collections and his awards include a Guggenheim fellowship (1961) and the first National Endowment for the<br />
Arts in Photography (1967). <strong>Steidl</strong> has published Davidson’s Circus (2007), Outside Inside (2010), Subway (2011)<br />
and Black & White (<strong>2012</strong>).<br />
