Prospectus with mounted print and order form laid in. "This special collection of photographs by the Los Angeles documentary photographer William Reagh examines and showcases his work from the mid- to late twentieth century. The text was typeset and printed letterpress [by Patrick Reagh], and the photographs were reproduced by tritone offset. The 130 photographs were selected by Patrick Reagh and Michael Dawson. The selections reflect an intimate regard for [Patrick's] father's perspective on urban renewal and change in Los Angeles during this period. There are views of Angels Flight, Bunker Hill, Pershing Square, Broadway, Grand Avenue, Hill Street, and Main Street" (from the prospectus). With images of architecture (old and new), and people, lots and lots of people. Many photographs from earlier decades are juxtaposed with photographs from later decades, taken from exactly the same location and vantage point. One of 350 copies. A fine and fresh copy.
