Despite the UK having a vibrant photographic scene at the time, there were only handful of monographic books - Chris Killip and Martin Parr had one each - and no dedicated publishers or distributors. Graham had to self-publish \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA1\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, but as the first colour book, it had a startling impact on British photography. Uniting the tradition of social documentary with the fresh approach of new colour, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA1 - The Great North Road\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was transformative on photography in the UK and paved the way for a new generation of British colour photographers to emerge, from Nick Waplington to Anna Fox, Richard Billingham to Tom Wood. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpanning the full length of England and into Edinburgh, Graham travelled repeatedly along the 'Great North Road' with a large format camera, to record the people, buildings, and landscape of early 1980's Britain. Now 40 years old, this book is as much art as it is a historical document of the years of Margaret Thatcher’s government and the UK’s declining industrial base. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eFirst edition, second printing \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACK","offers":[{"title":"Unsigned","offer_id":50615594156251,"sku":"dzl1791828721147","price":46.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signed","offer_id":50615594189019,"sku":"dfz1791828721148","price":42.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/2718\/2811\/files\/a1---the-great-north-road-paul-graham_1.jpg?v=1791828726","url":"https:\/\/www.shoplyf.com\/products\/a1-the-great-north-road-paul-graham","provider":"shoplyf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
