Hodes Sol (1 results)

Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Modern portfolio, with 30 loosely inserted mounted platinum prints and a mounted hand-lettered title page ("Photographic Sketches by Sol Hodes"). Affixed to the title page is the cover of a small photographic periodical, *The Developer of the Los Angeles Camera Club*, dated in 1928, with a clipping, presumably from this issue, mentioning Hodes in an account of a photography expedition of the Club to Malibu Lake. The images vary in size, but are all relatively large, most being approximately 7.5" x 9.5". Most are captioned below the image, a couple are captioned within the image. The images show a fair amount of talent, and the subjects are various: bewitching costumed or semi-costumed women, bucolic landscapes, prosaic studies of gnarled older gentlemen, buildings and cityscapes, etc. All are very much of the period. We can find little about Hodes, beyond the bare mention of his existence and that he was born in Russia in 1880 and immigrated to the U.S. around 1916. A complete list of images is available upon request.
