Description:
New York: Viking Press, 1965. First printing. Near fine in near fine jacket.. First edition of one of the best-known and most iconic photobooks of the 20th century. Originally slated to be published by Reynolds and Hitchcock in the late 1940s, the project was shelved after the death of one of the firm's principals and wasn't revived until almost two decades later (and after even Agee's death) for this edition - which has gone on to be a classic of the genre. "Levitt's photographs are beautiful - major, underrated works" (Parr and Badger). A nicer-than-usual copy of this enduring work. 8.75'' x 7.5''. Publisher's original lack cloth. In original unclipped ($6.50) black-and-while photographic jacket. 78 pages. Touches of shelfwear, with some mild toning to extremities. Else clean and sharp overall.
