Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Published in conjunction with two major Oakland Museum exhibitions, Photographs of Peter Stackpole: Peacetime to Wartime & Hollywood (Oakland Museum / Museum of California Foundation, 1992) presents a comprehensive survey of Stackpole's career, spanning Depression-era industrial modernism, Bay Area documentary work, World War II photography, and later Hollywood imagery. Essays by L. Thomas Frye and Therese Heyman situate Stackpole's work within the broader contexts of American social history, photojournalism, and twentieth-century visual culture, supplemented by extended captions and quotations drawn from interviews with the photographer. The catalogue is richly illustrated with high-quality black-and-white reproductions of gelatin silver prints, including images of the Golden Gate Bridge under construction, industrial labor, wartime pilots and shipyards, and Hollywood figures. Notable plates include Departing Airman and Girlfriend (1944), which appears on the cover, alongside photographs originally published in LIFE magazine and other period outlets. Detailed exhibition checklists, a biographical section on Stackpole, and full institutional credits further enhance the volume's value as a scholarly and visual reference. Issued in 1992 in the aftermath of the catastrophic 1991 Oakland-Berkeley firestorm, which destroyed much of Peter and Hebe Stackpole's home and archive, the publication carries added historical resonance. The dedication notes that Stackpole saved the prints for this exhibition and little else, underscoring the catalogue's role as both an exhibition record and a form of preservation for work otherwise lost. As such, the book documents not only the photographer's career but also a moment of cultural recovery. Softcover exhibition catalogue. Near Fine condition: clean, bright covers with minimal handling wear; spine tight and square; interior pages crisp and unmarked; photographic reproductions sharp and well printed. No dust jacket issued, as published. First and only edition. A strong, well-preserved example of a desirable museum publication devoted to one of the key figures in American documentary photography. Peter Stackpole (1913-1997) was a leading American photographer whose work spanned documentary, industrial, and journalistic photography. A founding member of Group f/64 alongside Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham, Stackpole helped shape West Coast modernism before becoming a prominent LIFE magazine photographer during World War II. His images are widely held in museum collections and remain central to the visual history of twentieth-century America.
