Add to basketFirst edition; square folio (360 x 355 mm, 14¼ x 14 in); black-and-white photographs printed in gravure by Photogravure and Color Company, Moonachie, New Jersey with glassine leaves, afterword by John Szarkowski; tan endleaves, grey mottled cloth-covered boards, printed title label mounted on front, titles stamped in white on s…pine, fine; [32]pp. These twelve photographs of domestic interiors are richly suggestive of the lives of those who live or lived in them. In the afterword, John Szarkowski describes Evans' style as seeming 'as inevitable and as anonymous as that of the early daguerreotypists, yet the character of his imageryâ"frontal, concisely plain, remotely passionateâ"is unchallengeably his own. This poised containment of form matches the content of the work, for these are pictures impelled by a concern too serious, and a love too intense, to permit the overt intrusion of sentiment.'

This work collects twelve of Evans's iconic black-and-white photographs, considered defining documents of 20th-century America.The recipient, Lincoln Kirstein, is most noted for his hand in founding the New York City B…allet. Kirstein was a close friend of Walker Evans who he had befriended in his early days in New York, and collaborated with him in 1938 on his exhibition 'American Photographs' at The Museum of Modern Art. This was the first exhibition in The Museum of Modern Art devoted to the work of a single photographer. The catalogue and book included an accompanying essay by the recipient, Lincoln Kirstein, which helped to establish Evans's legacy. Quarto. Twelve works of photography reproduced in sheet-fed gravure. Original grey mottled cloth, titles to white paper label to front board in black, titles to spine in white. Light ring stain to front board, corners just lightly rubbed, a very smart copy.
