First edition of the famed photographer's autobiography. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated throughout. Presentation copy, humorously inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Jerry Weegee, Words greatest photographer." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. The acclaimed street photographer of Naked Hollywood and Naked City is known for his documentation of the lurid undersides of stardom and commerce in mid-century Los Angeles. His use of distortion through trick lenses and multiple exposures is part of the Weegee-trademark, but it is also an artful glimpse into Weegee's perception of the underlying themes of Hollywood profiling. Ultimately, Weegee's work can be seen as a noirish glance into the urban life of the early Twentieth Century, while his autobiography is an insight into the behind that glance.…

Octavo, original black cloth, original dust jacket. $850.First edition of WeegeeÕs colorful autobiography, profusely illustrated with 116 black-and-white photographs, boldly inscribed: ÒTo BernieÉ Weegee 1962.ÓPolish-born Arthur Felig was dubbed "Ouija" by New York City cops in the 1930s for his uncanny ability to appear at crime scenes before the police did. A tabloid-news photographer for the Daily News, The Herald Tribune, and The Post, Weegee was known for his gritty, confrontational photos of the demi-monde. "The book that made Weegee famous, Naked City, was made into a film, and eventually, he went to Hollywood to make several short films and to act in others. But Weegee is best remembered as the chronicler of a particular place and time: New York City in the first half of the 20th century. He was a news photographer, and if we accept the definition of poetry as 'news that stays news,' he was a poet with a camera" (Roth, 118). This autobiography includes his account of the success of Naked City and his subsequent sojourn in Hollywood. As Weegee died of a brain tumor in 1968, signed copies of this work are scarce. Book very nearly fine with slight soiling to inscription page, dust jacket near-fine with a few small closed tears and light rubbing. A near-fine copy, quite scarce inscribed. Signed.…

Tipped to archival mat board with a window over-mat, 14 x 17 inches. On the blank reverse is stamped " This Photo sold for use by one Publication only. CREDIT LINE MUST READ Photo by A. FELLIG, 5 Center Market Place, N.Y.C." Faint date stamp of Nov. 22, 1937, and in the photographer's hand is written in ink "Spot Murder at W 37th st. between 11 - 12th Aves." Arthur Fellig left his darkroom job at Acme Newspictures in 1935 to strike out on his own as a freelance photographer in New York. He rented a room across from police headquarters on Center Market Place, and monitored the police emergency signals on his own radio and would race to the scene of the crime or fire. In 1938, he had obtained official permission to install a police radio in his car, the only photographer granted such license. His photos prior to 1938 bears his stamped credit as A. Fellig, and near this time his credit stamp changed to Weegee, from Ouija board, given his ability to appear as if by foretelling of the event. This photograph is an iconic vintage Weegee - as he wrote in his autobiography, "murder is my business.".…
