This image captures beautifully the brown tones of a lone library chair, easel and the rows of learned books on the shelves behind. This vintage interior photograph was taken at John Rylands Library in Manchester, from Richard Heeps series Ordinary Places. The collection was Richard's first colour collection and was shot between 1986-1991, and it instantly won acclaim with an exhibition at The Photographer's Gallery. The collection has toured around the country exhibiting in many museums and galleries, being appreciated for Richard's unique aspect of capturing England on the brink of change. In 2016, he released a new edition of 25 printed in 11" x 11" to celebrate 30 years of his career, they were shown as part of his 30 Year Retrospective at MIA Photo Fair Milan.
