Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. (no dust jacket, probably as issued) [the slightest bit of wear to the top of the spine]. (B&W photographs, color photo frontispiece) Small booklet (36 pages, plus endpapers) issued by Graflex to celebrate the firm's 25th anniversary. The first and longest section is entitled "From the Beginning," and presents a history of the company -- including its pre-history, dating back to the formation of the Folmer & Schwing Manufacturing Company in 1890, the co-founder of which was William F. Folmer, inventor of the Graflex Camera, of whom there is a full-page photographic portrait. (Also in this section are full-page photos of Nelson L. Whitaker and Gaylord C. Whitaker, Chairman and President respectively. This is followed by: a 6-page section on "Graflex Products," including a double-page spread of small photos of various cameras and accessories; "Users of Note," a one-page brag about various famous Graflex users (Theodore Roosevelt, Admiral Richard Byrd, etc.); "Graflex through the Wars," re the use of Graflex cameras in World War I and World War II, the latter illustrated by a full-page reproduction of what might be the single most famous photo ever taken with a Graflex, Joe Rosenthal's "Iwo Jima Flag Raising"; and finally, several pages listing the officers and directors of Graflex, Inc., along with those of a couple of affiliated organizations -- and, most charmingly, a page listing the couple of dozen people who had been with the firm for "all of its life" and were therefore members of the N.L.W. Club. (There follow several more pages of long-time employees, broken into 5-year increments: 20 Years' Service, 15 Years' Service, etc.) (The color-photo frontispiece, by the way, is a South Dakota landscape shot by Lincoln Borglum, possibly taken on a break from chiseling Mt. Rushmore with his dad.) The company's most famous product was of course the Speed Graphic, acknowledged in the text as "the standard press camera [that] has in itself provided Graflex invaluable promotion," but you will look in vain for any mention of the most renowned wielder of that photojournalistic implement, namely one Arthur Fellig (aka "Weegee") -- who, even as the company was up there in Rochester patting itself on the back, was making his nocturnal rounds on the mean streets of New York City, putting his Speed Graphic to its best use ever. While one hesitates to pronounce a corporate puff-piece (albeit quite a substantial one) as "rare," the fact is that OCLC records just ten library copies of this little gem -- and although that makes it sound a little more common than it is, consider that all of those are in the Eastern U.S. (well, one in Canada), and that fully half are in Rochester proper, with one more less than a hundred miles away, at Cornell University. So it's not exactly like most of the world can take a short drive to lay eyeballs on a copy.
