About the book
Brightly coloured speedos. Factor two suncream. Lounging with a cocktail and cigarette by a chlorinated pool while the kids learn archery. This astonishing archive of nostalgic images of British tourists abroad were taken during the heyday of the package holiday. Trevor Clark was the first British photographer to document the new hotels rising in Mallorca and in doing so he captured the camp and joyful atmosphere of a bygone world of holidaymakers making the most of cheap flights, Mediterranean sun and all-inclusive, all-you-can-eat buffets.
