Synopsis

Over more than half a century Jon Harris has produced a remarkable body of work. At its heart are his images of Cambridge where he has lived and worked since 1961. This book is a selection from those images, chosen to show something of the range and quality of his roving eye. These drawings and paintings also form a unique record of the extraordinary changes, some benefi cial, some less so, which his Cambridge has undergone over the past half century. Throughout the book, Harris has supplied a commentary telling the story of an evolving city from the point of view of a deeply knowledgeable and passionately involved observer.
