About This Item
xxi+146 pages with plates, glossary, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter brown cloth with black lettering to spine over beige boards with black lettering to cover in original pictorial jacket. Foreword by Michael Holroyd. First edition. The generous-hearted editors of this volume, Bill Jay and Margaret Moore, have felt incensed that "Bernard Shaw has been inexplicably and shamefully ignored as a photographer and photographic critic". Few people know that Shaw was also a first-rate photography critic, the author of a dozen exhibition reviews and critical essays published in important journals and newspapers. He was friendly with some of the best art photographers of the day, and even wrote a specialized technical article for an amateur photography magazine. Condition: Fine in like jacket.
