Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (Issue #44)

Descripción

Issue #44 of "Camera Work", published in March 1914. A surprisingly well-preserved copy, with far less creasing and none of the loss one usually encounters in the brittle, Edward Steichen-designed wrappers. A solid, VG+ copy, with very light soiling to the front panel and light, forgivable creasing along the yapped edges. 9 of the 10 gravure plates called for are present and are in crisp, very sharp condition. Most significantly, the Edward Steichen plate ("Venice") and the Annie Brigman plate ("Dryads") introduce the selection and are followed, in 2 separate sections, by 7 reproductions by the Amercian Modernist painter Abraham Walkowitz. (Only the Alfred Stieglitz plate {"Two Towers--New York"} is missing). The cogent text of Marius DeZayas, John Weichsel and Oscar Bluemner introduce and complement the plates thruout. Tall quarto, mostly uncut signatures, magnificent local ads at the rear. An impressive example of this "illustrated quarterly magazine devoted to Photography and to the activities of the Photo-Secession". N° de ref. del artículo 15655
