Publisher's Synopsis
We English is a glorious portfolio of landscapes revealing the English at leisure, presented in an exquisite oversize edition. It is the result of one yearÔÇÖs travel around England by Roberts, documenting its landscape on a large format 5x4 camera. Informed by the photography of his predecessors Tony Ray Jones, John Davies and Martin Parr, by the romantic tradition of English landscape painting, and by the human landscapes of LS Lowry. Roberts discovers an England thatÔÇÖs quirky and touching, and remarkably beautiful. This is the most significant contribution to the photography of England since John DaviesÔÇÖs ÔÇÿThe British LandscapeÔÇÖ. His work is set in the context of the representation of England in Art by writer and historian, Professor Stephen Daniels.
