This week has brought the launch of a book, Gentlemen celebrating, exploring and recording the contemporary gentleman. A collaboration between outstanding photographer, Jonathan Daniel Pryce, and English fragrance manufacturer, Penhaligon's, the book contains some hundred or so portraits of men of standing and style (and also Grey Fox, image below).

There is some discussion about the elusive definition of the word, but creativity, respect for tradition, good manners and sharp wit seem a common characteristic of a gentleman. The superb images bring out so well the personalities of the sitters. The book, designed perhaps to capture the qualities of typical Penhaligon's customers, is on display in Penhaligon's shops.
