"Scrapbook (First Edition)" is a photo collection by Cecil Beaton, a leading British photographer. The English version, "The Glass of Fashion," and the Japanese version, "Mirror of Fashion" (Bunka Publishing Bureau), candidly describe the "essence of fashion" that is based on "culture" and "style" along with Beaton's biography, making it a popular book among fashionistas. Beaton, who grew up in a wealthy upper class family, was an artist who was active in a variety of fields, including fashion photography, portrait photography, film, and costume design for Vogue and Vanity Fair, thanks to his extraordinary talent. He was also a first-class artist when it came to drawing. This book is a "scrapbook" filled with the source of Beaton's creativity. In 2010, it was published with a new design and volume as "The Art of the Scrapbook" (Editions Assouline), but this is the first edition published in 1937. From the gorgeous, tasteful jacket cover that is hard to believe was made before the war, to the book that contains not only photographs but also drawings and newspaper and magazine clippings, it is a book that will make you take your hat off to Beaton's refined creativity.
