Book Synopsis
Pedlars, Poseurs and Performers is a compelling insight into the world of the Portobello Street market. Fifty years of photographs, which go beyond the stalls, shops and cafés normally associated with it. Each picture features, where possible, the subject's name and the date the picture was taken. Some of the characters shared their stories with Brian Jaquest while being photographed in his studio. The non-conformist approach to the layout of the book represents the chaotic experience of a street market. The photographs and texts describe each category in the book's title: pedlars, poseurs and performers. This book is not only a visual record of the characters who have made the Portobello Street market famous over generations but is also a collection of fascinating photographs taken from the point of view of an insider. Pedlars, Poseurs and Performers is an in-depth photographic history which takes the reader into the ticking heart of the Portobello Road.
