Bruce Davidson: Photographs
New York: Agrinde Publications Ltd., 1978. 1st Edition. Large oblong quarto, publisher's ecru cloth over dark gray paper-covered boards, spine gilt, original photo-illustrated dust jacket.
First edition of the first retrospective monograph on Magnum documentary photographer Bruce Davidson, collecting black-and-white photos from a dozen essays including "Brooklyn Gang," "The Cafeteria," and "East 100th Street." "There is no typical Davidson photograph or subject...His interest in where he has been is limited to what he can learn (and thereby teach us) about the continued unfolding of a sensibility thoroughly engaged in life: teenage gangs, an artist's window in Paris, Welsh miners, the Garden Cafeteria" (from curator-critic Henry Geldzahler's preface). Illustrated with black-and-white plates; with an introduction by Davidson. Some toning and faint dampstaining to board edges, corners banged; unclipped dust jacket with light toning and edgewear. Very good. Item #12346
