Bibliography. Index. Freitag #1726. From the Dust Jacket: "As an innovator in photography [Alvin Langdon Coburn, 1882-1966] is known for his daring angle shots of New York and for his 'vortographs,' the first purely abstract photographs. More than sixty of Coburn's most famous portraits and landscapes, long unavailable, are carefully reproduced here. Together with his literary self-portrait, they evoke the charm of a bygone era. Coburn's art ensures that it always will be remembered." Includes Coburn's abstract photos, landscapes as well as portraits of George Bernard Shaw, G. K. Chesterton, George Meredith, Edward Carpenter, Auguste Rodin, Henry James, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, William Butler Yeats, H.G. Wells, Gertrude Stein, Alfred Stieglitz, Henri Matisse, Ezra Pound, Igor Stravinsky, David Lloyd George, and others. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good condition/Good Dust Jacket. 144pp.
