I am VERY reluctant to give this one up because although it’s seen better days (some tearing and toning on the dust jacket) you literally cannot find this hardcover anywhere and it’s SUCH a good book with the most incredible photographs. I covered it with plastic so as to protect its current state, but other than that the inside pages are in great condition.
This book is based on the landmark winter 1975–76 exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum and this definitive volume was personally curated and selected by the legendary British master photographer Bill Brandt.
This volume presents 48 rich duotone plates from legendary masters including Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Harry Callahan, Paul Caponigro, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Provenance: The title page features an elegant, blind-embossed 'Ex Libris' library stamp belonging to the prominent New York art collectors, Shelley and Arthur Sas.”
Condition: good vintage condition. the internal binding is tight and sturdy. the 48 duotone plates are pristine, crisp, and completely clean with no internal ink marks, highlighting, or underlines. the title page features a crisp, un-inked blind-embossed private collector's library stamp. the original dust jacket remains intact and presents beautifully with a natural, uniform amber age-toning and mild foxing near the borders, adding excellent vintage character.
Format: Cloth-bound Hardcover with Original Removable Dust Jacket
Publisher: Da Capo Press, New York (First American Edition, 1976)
ISBN: 0-306-70753-5
Illustrations: 48 duotone photographic plates
