About This Item
Berlin: Ernst Wasmuth A.G., 1928. Cloth. Near Fine. The 1928 true 1st edition, with its 120 sumptuous plates, beautifully printed in itaglio. Clean, solid and VG+ in its dark-green cloth, with bright gilt-titling along the front panel and rubbed titling at the spine. A touch of light spotting along the edges, minor foxing at the endsheets and pastedowns, one tiny nick (the size of a pinhead) at the spine. Tall quarto, wonderful, heavily-Art Deco period bookplate ("W. Schwintzer/W. Zehlendorf") at the front pastedown. Selected by Andrew Roth's "Book of 101 Books", among other lists (including Parr) of the most seminal photography books of the 20th century.
