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.
