New in New jacket. 4to. Hard cover in dust jacket and publisher's shrink wrap. Published NY: Norton & Company, 1997. 4to., 10 1/4" x 11 1/4", 224pp., illustrated with 93 full-color photographs. New in shrink wrap. "In this important volume, Christian A. Peterson finally gives the pictorialists of the first half of the twentieth century their due. He describes the backgrounds of the movement, their methods, the photo clubs they belonged to, and their work, illustrated here with ninety-three stunning reproductions. The movement seemed to die out, Peterson suggests, with the rising popularity of 35mm photography in mid-century, when the care and slow working procedures required by large-format cameras became unpopular. 93 full-color photographs."
