About the Author

Regarded as one of the greatest image makers of his generation, Elliott Erwitt described himself as 'a professional photographer by trade and an amateur photographer by vocation.' As an artist and documenter, his camera took him all over the globe and his work spans many traditions, subjects, and approaches to photography.

P. G. Wodehouse was a British writer whose novels and stories share the same light touch of gentle satire. He was a great admirer of Elliott Erwitt's work during his lifetime.
