Dorothy Bohm's links with Sussex go back to June 1939, when on the cusp of turning fifteen she was sent to the safety of England by her Lithuanian-Jewish parents and attended a small school in the village of Ditchling. From the mid-1960s, after her husband bought a working farm near Billingshurst in West Sussex, the family escaped London life almost every weekend for more than twenty years. Armed with a Rolleiflex and a wryly affectionate outsider's eye, she caught the low-key but lyrical beauty of the countryside and moments in the lives of local people, at work and more often at leisure. A selection was shown at Pallant House Gallery in 2018; this is the first time any of it has been gathered in a volume.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
