Seller's Description:
Very Good in None Issued jacket. Carefully handled, Text clean, Bindings firm. Light wear on the corners. The book presents a clear aesthetic vision with more than 200 images--from a Clarence White study of Victorian-era girls at play to Adam Fuss's abstract color photograms--centered on a page opposite a blank page for undistracted viewing. The printing, four-color throughout though most images are black and white, and the heavy matte paper produce some of the best reproductions this reviewer has ever seen. While no such survey can hope to deliver the definitive canon, this book should become an oft-referenced landmark study. [Eric Bryant, Library Journal]
