Second Printing

9" x 6 1/8"

Second edition of the award-winning photographer’s account of his months as a WWII photographer for the British Ministry of Information and Air Ministry, with over 45 pages of black-and-white photogravures featuring Beaton’s images of desert patrols, the wreckage of enemy planes and his portraits of figures such as the Queen of Persia and the seven-year-old King Faisal II of Iraq.

Early in WWII Cecil Beaton, celebrated for his portraits of celebrities such as Greta Garbo and renowned as the official photographer of the royal family, was commissioned by Britain’s Air Ministry and Ministry of Information to undertake the challenge of photographing the war in the Middle East. In the months leading up to Tobruk and El Alamein, amidst news of battles with Rommel in the desert, Beaton traveled across Iraq, Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Iran, North Africa and Portugal. This second edition of Near East, with over 45 pages of photogravures after photographs by Beaton, is accompanied by his engagingly modest journalistic account, and features his images of soldiers in the field, blistering sandstorms, the shattered wrecks of enemy planes, desert patrols and holy sites in Jerusalem. Beaton’s exceptional skill as a portraitist is seen in his images of the Queen of Persia, the Emir Abdullah of Transjordania, and in his image of the seven-year-old King Faisal II of Iraq, who, Beaton writes, “enjoyed changing the films in my camera.” The king would be assassinated at the age of 23 in 1958. Knighted in 1972, Beaton also achieved renown as a writer, artist and as an Oscar-winning costume and stage designer.

Good value, great products, nice results
Started to implement a skin care routine and I am happy that I did. The face wash is nice; the scrub has enough grit to feel clean afterwards without leaving your face feeling raw. The regular wash is also nice. I use the eye cream pretty much on the top half of my face, from under eyes, up across my forehead. It has been just a couple weeks, and I am happy with the results. Face is hydrated and the bags under my eyes have been reduced. Overall, I would recommend this product if you are looking to take care of yourself a little better

First Impressions, will update in a couple weeks.
-Initial impression is it's a good value. Product box is quite sturdy; the squeeze tubes and jar come in foam inserts, so broken or split containers are highly unlikely. The glass jar is wrapped in plastic as well as a plastic cap inside lid to prevent any leaking of the Eye Cream. All 3 squeeze tubes have foil seal under flip cap, again protecting from leakage. I love that as I've had different products arrive exploded from heat exposure. -I've only use the products once as of this review, but I like the light feel and smells of all 4 products. I'll update this review or write a new separate one for more in depth review in a couple more weeks after I get some use out of them. -Overall, I like everything. The Face Scrub isn't super grainy, but it took off the flakey skin without over exfoliating, gentle yet thorough. I'd only use it once a week. -Foaming Cleanser lathers well and doesn't drip down the face if it's not super wet. No strong smells and removed the oil I get on my face and ears from the coolant at work with no issues or extra scrubbing. -The Moisturizer has a light smell and a slight cooling effect, kinda like eucalyptus, very nice and it's not oily or greasy. -Lastly is the Eye Cream. Super light and not greasy and it doesn't burn, which I've had other products do on the past. A little goes a long way.

Smells great, works well! ❤️
Made a basket for my husband, smells so so good!!! He loves new face creames and he says this stuff feels great. He struggles with black heads and I already saw improvement in his skin texture in just 2 washes.
