Published in 1967, Birds of Britain is John Green’s portrait of the women who came to define the image of Swinging London. Bringing together actresses, musicians, models and designers, the book features Charlotte Rampling, Marianne Faithfull, Dusty Springfield and many others. Shot largely in black and white and printed in gravure, Green’s photographs move between fashion portraiture, celebrity photography and the increasingly liberated visual culture of the 1960s. Both playful and unmistakably of its time, the book has since become a cult document of the period.
