Colour photographs of Leeds
Edited and sequenced by John Myers
Originally published by RRB Photobooks in 2020 and edited and sequenced by John Myers, Early Sunday Morning is here reissued in a new, affordable Documentary Classics softback edition. The book shows a different Leeds from Peter Mitchell's earlier publications—'neither the sombre look at destruction seen in Memento Mori, nor the detached view of the man from Mars of A New Refutation of the Viking 4 Space Mission, but a more intimate document of Mitchell's own Leeds.' The title is a quiet homage to Edward Hopper's painting Early Sunday Morning of 1930, and the book gathers Mitchell's colour images of the city he has photographed for over five decades—corner shops, terraced streets, scarecrows in the surrounding fields, weathered shopfronts and the particular Yorkshire light. Reissued as part of RRB's Documentary Classics series, this edition aims to bring Mitchell's much-loved book to a wider audience.
