内容提要：

为庆祝收购著名艺术家汤姆·菲利普斯的档案，博德莱恩图书馆要求这位艺术家根据他收藏的 50,000 多张摄影明信片的主题收集和设计一系列书籍。这些作品的年代跨越了二十世纪上半叶，在这一时期，由于摄影媒介越来越便宜，普通人可以负担得起拥有自己的肖像。

本书包含 200张图片，这些图片选自视觉丰富的社会历史脉络，正如本书的标题《读者》所暗示的那样，本书展示了人们阅读（或假装阅读）各种各样的材料的姿态，拍摄地点包括摄影师的工作室、他们自己的家种，还有些是在度假的海滩。这些独特且视觉上令人惊叹的照片让人们对被遗忘的时代有了丰富的了解，并将受到艺术和历史爱好者的高度重视。

 

To celebrate the acquisition of the archive of distinguished artist Tom Phillips, the Bodleian Library asked the artist to assemble and design a series of books drawing on his themed collection of over 50,000 photographic postcards. These encompass the first half of the twentieth century, a period in which, thanks to the ever cheaper medium of photography, ordinary people could afford to own portraits of themselves. Each book in the series contains two hundred images chosen from a visually rich vein of social history. Their covers also feature thematically linked paintings, specially created for each title, from Phillips’s signature work, A Humument.

Readers, as its title suggests, shows people reading (or pretending to read) a wide variety of material, from the Bible to Film Fun, either in the photographer’s studio, in their own home, or on vacation on the beach. Each of these unique and visually stunning books give a rich glimpse of forgotten times and will be greatly valued by art and history lovers alike.
