Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 0888943407. "Here, for the first time, is a selection of the finest of Frank Matsura's work, photographs whose existence was almost unknown until their recent discovery. Selected from hundreds of flawless glass plates that had been preserved largely by luck, and reproduced in duotone to retain the precision and astonishing clarity of the originals, these photographs linger in the imagination: Indians posing in full regalia, cowboys clowning in Matsura's studio, solid citizens at play, and much more. Matsura was a photographer who arrived from Japan in the Okanogan country of the Pacific northwest, straddling the Canadian-US border, in 1903. He died of tuberculosis in 1913. Why this apparently well-educated and sophisticated man cast his lot with the miners, merchants, farmers, ranchers, and Indians of the area remains a mystery."-dust jacket. 144 pages. Printed upon glossy stock. Photo endpapers. Clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. An excellent copy.; 4to.
