More about this title

This charming hardback diary features photographs from the Elliott Erwitt monograph, Elliott Erwitt Snaps, which was first published by Phaidon Press in 2001. Snaps was the first monograph to bring together the range and exuberance of the career of this well-known Magnum photographer and the images have been selected from this much-loved retrospective to create this elegant range of stationery. This week-to-view diary features one of Erwitt’s instantly recognisable, unassumingly witty pictures with every week to create an appealing album for the passing seasons.

Press quotes

Praise for Elliott Erwitt's Snaps

‘Rare among photographers, Erwitt can make you laugh out loud [...] but his scope is Tolstoyan.’ Independent

‘... reveals Erwitt’s unassuming wit, brilliant framing and deep humanity’ New York Post

‘[Erwitt’s] photos reveal a joy in the particular playgrounds of human activity ... His eye, modest, charming, graceful and forever peeled for the dazzlingly unexpected, has led to his oeuvre being labelled by one commentator as the “indecisive moment”’ World of Interiors

'This tome shows that he hasn’t lost any of the visual wit that makes one relish his pictures, while, at the same time, recognizing the melancholy that infuses any realization of the arbitrariness of existence.'
