John’s greatest passion was – and is – industry. Over the course of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, he took over 25,000 photographs of late-industrial and post-industrial Scotland. His collection is a remarkable portrait of a way of life that has now all but vanished. His drive to act as a witness to Scotland’s industrial empire, and its steady disintegration, took him to every corner of the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn’s photography produces an exhaustive and objective record. Yet it also reveals remarkable and poignant glimpses of domestic life – children playing in factory ruins, high-rises emerging on the city skylines, working men and women dwarfed by the incredible scale of an already crumbling industrial infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn A Life of Industry, author Daniel Gray tells John’s story, and the story of what has been lost – and preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55214478492023,"sku":"9781849173094","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781849173094.jpg?v=1747317477","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.pro\/products\/9781849173094","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
