Titled “The Championships in Images 2010 – 2014″, Duncan’s new book is a photographic celebration of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. It has a limited edition of just 100 copies, each one being personally signed by Duncan. It has been published to complement Duncan’s Exhibition of fine-art large-format photographic prints; for the second consecutive year this is being held for the duration of the Championships at the du Vin Cannizaro House Hotel, Wimbledon Common, London’s only 5* country house hotel and located just a stone’s throw away from the AELTC.
Local glossy magazine Time & Leisure have reviewed the book in their July 2015 edition:-
“Duncan has taken some of the most iconic Wimbledon tennis photos and presented them in a beautiful display book every tennis fan needs. We were given an exclusive sneak peek and it is no ordinary ‘book’; in reality it is a 30cm square, 82-page collection of 175 fine-art photographic prints presented on high quality photographic paper and cleverly bound together to allow double-page spreads with no visible join at the spine. This results in many images being presented in a stunningly large [60 cm wide] format. The book also includes images of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in the Royal Box.”
Whilst not doing the high-quality presentation justice, a pdf version of this bound collection of prints can be downloaded here. It can be viewed and purchased at the Exhibition as well as local Wimbledon shops and can also be ordered on-line here.
Stop press. To date Novac Djokovic, Boris Becker, Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Laura Robson have all kindly signed a copy of the book. Duncan is considering ways to auction this special signed copy for charity.
