BEATON, Cecil[150] pp.

1943
9" x 6 1/8"
First edition of the award-winning photographer’s account of his months as a WWII photographer for the British Ministry of Information and Air Ministry, with over 45 pages of black-and-white photogravures featuring Beaton’s images of desert patrols, the wreckage of enemy planes and his portraits of figures such as the Queen of Persia and the seven-year-old King Faisal II of Iraq.
Early in WWII Cecil Beaton, celebrated for his portraits of celebrities such as Greta Garbo and renowned as the official photographer of the royal family, was commissioned by Britain’s Air Ministry and Ministry of Information to undertake the challenge of photographing the war in the Middle East. In the months leading up to Tobruk and El Alamein, amidst news of battles with Rommel in the desert, Beaton traveled across Iraq, Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Iran, North Africa and Portugal. This first edition of Near East, with over 45 pages of photogravures after photographs by Beaton, is accompanied by his engagingly modest journalistic account, and features his images of soldiers in the field, blistering sandstorms, the shattered wrecks of enemy planes, desert patrols and holy sites in Jerusalem. Beaton’s exceptional skill as a portraitist is seen in his images of the Queen of Persia, the Emir Abdullah of Transjordania, and in his image of the seven-year-old King Faisal II of Iraq, who, Beaton writes, “enjoyed changing the films in my camera.” The king would be assassinated at the age of 23 in 1958. Knighted in 1972, Beaton also achieved renown as a writer, artist and as an Oscar-winning costume and stage designer.

Awesome eyebrow pen
Color: Medium Brown
** Another update** I am back a third time to again proclaim my LOVE for this product. I will cry the day Ardell discontinues this brown pen! So I am stocking up, with 3 backups available at all times lol. This will literally give you the fluffy brows of your dreams. You can rub with your finger and it will not smudge. I am a brow SNOB and this stuff is perfection!
Original review: This pen is great! I have used it twice so far and the hair strokes look very natural. The product really stays in place. I slept in my makeup last night (I know, not good lol), and my brows still look great today with no touch ups. I highly recommend!
*** Update 2 months later ***
After using this for 2 months, I did repurchase another pen. As with any liquid product, this will start to dry out after 1-2 months of daily use but that is to be expected in my opinion. Repurchasing this once every 2 months at the price is not a negative in my opinion. I did not have any trouble with the tip drying out while applying until 2 weeks ago which is your sign that it's time to purchase a fresh pen. I will continue to purchase this product for as long as they make it.

Best Eyebrow Product EVER
Color: Medium Brown
This is the BEST felt-tip eyebrow pen. I’ve used SO many and have been disappointed by them all. (Glossier Brow Flick is too finicky and can be too Sharpie-looking if you’re not careful, and it has a tendency to leak if you store it upside-down; the drugstore ones from NYX and Loreal don’t make lines that are thin enough; the multi-pronged ones from K-beauty places aren’t pigmented enough; the dual-ended pencil and ink stain from Urban Decay wears off too quickly... I could go on). But THIS one? This one is so easy to use, and the results look so natural, like actual hairs. And it’s so easy to get really thin, precise strokes. AND it lasts all day! Seriously, I hope they never discontinue this. My absolute favorite.

Easy to assemble and works well for my needs edging the driveway and sidewalk! Reasonable price and seems fairly well made so far! I’ve only used it a couple of times but does the job well!

Great Yard Helper!
So easy to use and affordable! This edger is a great time saver, easy to operate, and relatively easy to adjust although you may need a pliers or screwdriver to help with the adjustment levels, but its not difficult. I would have given this 5 stars but just one thing that is a sticking point for me is I wish this had its own stand or hanger because of its odd shape, it doesn't necessarily balance upright too well. It’s long and the guide wheel in the front sticks out. So, it is always awkward to get it tidy in the garage when not in use. Now maybe this is what it's like for landscapers…I’m not a professional. Just a homeowner doing my own upkeep. With what this costs, I’ll figure it out, and is worth the money.
