Description:
Personal Exposures / Elliot Erwitt
W.W. Norton, New York, 1988. First edition. Large square hardcover with 248 duotone photographs.

For this volume Elliott painstakingly culled the work of a lifetime, rediscovering prints he had not seen in years and creating a unified whole that reflects a consistent, mature vision of photography and humanity.

The pictures reflect a lifetime of humorous, ironic observation and sensitivity to the human condition."
