About This Item
Carmel, CA, 1964. Original Manuscript . Soft cover. About Fine. 10.75" x 8.5. Carmel, California, 1964. Ansel Adams typed letter signed [TLS]. Two horizontal folds and one slight vertical fold to letter, else about fine. Photo is fine. Lengthy, warm, full-page letter from Ansel Adams - dated January 8, 1964, and on his letterhead - to "I.R." (Irving Robbins, a noted California collector). Not written to a stranger; in it, Adams apologizes for being ill at their last meeting and promises to be "full of beans" next time. Also referenced in the letter is another notable California photographer, aerial photographic artist and author William Garnett, about whom Adams says: "He is a GREAT photographer ! I am sure no one has approached him in creative work from the air." Signed, of course, at the close. The photograph, entitled Rocks and Limpets, Point Lobos, 1963, is on folding photographic card stock, with "Virginia & Ansel Adams" printed on the cover, and was executed by Lawton Kennedy, engraving by the Walter J. Mann Company, from an enlargement of a Polaroid Land 4 x 5 Type 55 P.N. Negative. Unique aggregation. Photo is in fine condition. L-32
