The name of Colin Gifford is synonymous with a particular style of artistic railway photography. During the last decade of steam operation he was one of a number of railway photographers who travelled widely recording the steam scene in a slightly more avant garde & impressionistic way than many of his contemporary & more traditional photographer colleagues. As a designer he was briefly employed by Ian Allan Ltd & his photographs were one of the features of Modern Railways magazine during this period. As a result of his photographic work he produced four books of which Each a Glimpse...is perhaps the best-known & the most commercially successful. First published in 1970 & long out of print the book included around 270 mono illustrations in an original & unique artistic style. Subsequent to his career at Ian Allan Ltd Gifford continued as a photographer & designer with his work being featured in exhibitions & on postage stamps. This fully reoriginated & redesigned second edition of the book

Includes:: the bulk of the original images & text from the first edition. There is the possibility of publishing a limited edition of the book which will be signed & numbered.
