'Handsome ... collects more than 100 photographs from each phase of Miller's storied career, imagery that affirms the complete ease and mastery of each genre she explored ... She had a knack for transforming prosaic objects and moments into startingly surreal visual statements ... [A] must-have book' - Black & White

'Excellent... Miller’s images call attention to the impact of war on women and children, be they starving infants in a hospital ward, or suspected collaborators with the enemy hanging their heads in shame, and her compassion as well as artistry are why these photographs remain to this day especially moving... That we are able to know the legacy of Lee Miller and experience her masterful work is in large part thanks to her son Antony Penrose, whose informative and touching introduction provides the context for this superb overview of Miller’s life and photography... This hard-bound gorgeously printed monograph is yet another superbly-edited must-have publication from Thames and Hudson' - Photobook
