Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. A year before the summer of love, William Gedney reached San Francisco while on a Guggenheim Fellowship to photograph, "aspects of our culture which I believe significant and which I hope will become, in time, part of the record of American history." The photos in A Time of Youth, taken between October 1966 and January 1967, document the restlessness and intertwined lives of disenfranchised youth that had migrated from all over the country to what would become the very epicenter of the 1960s counterculture. While Gedney's images have been exhibited and celebrated in recent years, to date, few people have seen Gedney's books. In addition to the thousands of images and prints Gedney made throughout his career, between 1967 and 1982 he conceived, designed, and constructed seven unique photobooks. A Time of Youth is the first of the seven designs to be published. Additions to Gedney's design include essays by Lisa McCarty and Philip Gefter which provide historical context and illuminate Gedney's process. 158 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. First edition, first printing. Illustrated boards, unclipped dust jacket. Slight shelf wear to edges, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request.
