Dust Jacket Reads: Cecil Beaton has long been regarded as one of the great modern phographers. His career as a set and fashion designer has been no less illustrious. "Self Portrait with Friends" establishes him as a contemporary diarist without peer. As his editor, Richard Buckle, writes in his Introduction, "Among recorders of current events.. Beaton stands alone, Neither Sevigne, nor Pepys, nor Greville, nor Nicholson, nor Channon met-and photographed-such a diversity of men and women." Beaton also wrote about them in his diaries, which over 50 years filled more than 150 manuscript volumes. "Self Portrait with Friends" represents the best and most significant entries from Beaton's diaries.
