About This Item
Doubleday & Company, Garden City, NY, 1966; First Edition; quarto, 334 pages; black cloth boards; gilt titles and decorations. The life and work of Timothy O’Sullivan, who with his enormous 20 x 24 view camera and mule-drawn darkroom captured compelling images of the Civil War and the lands and peoples of the American West, many heretofore falsely attributed to his contemporary and friend, Matthew Brady. Beautifully illustrated with over four hundred magnificent photographs of the Civil War, King Western Expedition of 1867-1869, Darien Survey Expedition to the Isthmus of Panama in 1870, and Wheeler Expedition to the Southwest of 1871-1875. Fine, in a Near Fine dust jacket. Clean, crisp, bright, and sharp. True first edition, not a Bonanza reprint. A fascinating and marvelous book.
