A text by Robert Chessyre accompanies Martin Parr's photos of the newly-swelling affluent middle-class of Great Britain. Photos of a family seemingly bent in worship over a credit card, of shoppers in Harrods, of gatherings of the aristocracy show us a new social formulation in Britain--one that is part and parcel of Thatcher's England. "Parr has stalked his subjects patiently, and is gentle with their pretentions."-- Robert Chessyre.
