About This Item
Small book plate on inside front cover.
The first major monograph of Adams' work, this book includes 50 tipped-in illustrations from photographs by Ansel Adams in the finest half-tone process of the time. Sierra Club member Walter Starr commissioned Adams to produce the book as a memorial to his son who was killed while solo climbing in the High Sierra. The elaborate publication was used as a sophisticated lobbying tool while Congress was voting on the establishment of the Kings Canyon National Park.
Limited to 500 copies of which this is No. 423 signed by Adams on the colophon leaf.
