Synopses & Reviews
An award-winning photographer for LIFE, Vanity Fair and Architectual Digest among others, Harry Benson's pictures, as well as his uncanny ability to always be in the right place at the right time, are legendary. The Beatles pillow-fighting, Nixon resigning, the Berlin Wall falling, Harry can immortalise a moment like no one else. And here he documents his hometown with the same unmatched eye that has produced such exceptional pictures of every US president since Eisenhower as well as Elizabeth Taylor, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson and many more. Covering more than fifty years, Harry Benson's Glasgow shows the bygone city of shipyards and tenements as well at the bustling, modern metropolis. It showcases the people of Glasgow who make the city what it is today and includes unforgetable and unique images of some of the most famous faces.
