Synopsis
Originally published in 1979, "Cape Light" became an instant classic and one of the most influential photography books published in the latter part of the 20th century. Common scenes -- tiny figures on a beach, a porch railing against a storm-darkened sky, a blue raft against a summer cottage -- all are transformed by the poignant light of the Cape and the photographer's subtle and luminous vision. This exquisitely printed book captures every nuance of color and light in that unique juncture of sky, sea, and land that is Cape Cod.

Cape Light: Color Photographs by Joel Meyerowitz Bufinch Revised Edition 2002 softcover ISBN 0821227955 VERY GOOD, spine is not creased, no exterior soiling, no foxing, no chips, no tears, no bumps, slight age toning to wraps. Interior has no writing, no inscriptions, small finger smudges on five interior pages, plates 6, 20, 21, 22 and 43, all in white areas, none on the photos, where a child (?) got ahold of the book. See attached photos. Without these 5 smudges the book would have been listed as fine. An important book in the history of color photography. ". . .of the great color 'triumvirate' we might say that Eggleston is the flamboyant one, while the poetic Meyerowitz is the sentimental one and Shore is the lucid one." -- from Parr & Badger's The Photobook: A History volume II.
