Dust Jacket Condition: dj. Edited by Sam Stephenson. Illustrated. (illustrator). Near fine in a near fine d/j. A very nice copy! Quarto: black cloth in dust jacket; 176 pages First Edition, first printing. W. Eugene Smith?s exhaustive photo essay of ?Pittsburgh,? undertaken for Magnum from 1955-1957 shortly after he left LIFE magazine following a dispute with editors, eventually captured about 17,000 photographs. Smith documented a vibrant industrial metropolis, its steel mills, its people, its scenery?the most comprehensive visual chronicle ever made of an American city in motion and would be the most ambitious photographic essay of his life. Now, in an astonishing, first-time assemblage of the core images Smith asserted were the "synthesis of the whole," we see a portrayal not only of Pittsburgh but also of mid-century, postwar America.
