Shadow of Light marks the first time photographs from throughout Brandt's career were collected together in an accessible format. Cyril Connolly ends his introduction by writing:
'What do we look for in a photographer? Curiosity, wit, humility, detachment, some imaginative quality to offset the brutality of the machine itself, so occupied with the surface of things, so observant of blemish. Then, I think, some sense of unsatisfied questioning and ultimately technical mastery and fastidiousness of selection. For the closing of the shutter is a death-sentence, a guillotining of the moment. It is best left in the hands of a man at peace with himself.'

First American edition; (276 x 236, 10¾ x 9¼ in); black-and-white and colour photographs; plain endpapers, black cloth-covered boards, titles to spine in gold, white photo-illustrated dust-jacket, printed in black and olive, lightly toned, light wear to head, strengthened tear to upper panel bottom edge, tears to lower panel at top and bottom edge, fine in a very good dust-jacket; 12, [140]pp.
