Colour Prestige 1 Buses in the Sixties

The fabulous GHF Atkins photograph collection has provided the images for a number of earlier Venture Publications books, not least in the Prestige Series. This volume, the first in a new format, turns to Geoffrey Atkins's colour photography and looks at the buses and coaches running on the streets of some of Britain's towns and cities in the decade of the 1960s. Many photographers who achieved celebrity in the monochrome age adapted badly or not at all to the new colour medium. Not so Geoffrey Atkins, whose work, while not approaching his black and white output in quantity, more than equals it in quality. This book will bring back many a happy memory to enthusiasts who grew up in that memorable decade: a decade that can now, perhaps, be seen as having been something of a golden age preceding the enormous changes brought about from the 1970s onwards, firstly by the National Bus Company and then by deregulation.
