Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good jacket. Book Large quarto, hardcover, VG in good, lightly edgeworn, white and green pictorial dj. 96 pp. illustrated throught, gives capsule biographies of photographers at back. Nature photography has been an important part of the American psyche since its inception in the mid-1800's. Photography from the American West inspired frontier families to venture beyond the Mississippi. Ansel Adam's photography of America's natural vastness helped create today's environmental movement. And in much the same way, today's photographers are capturing the world's beauty and natural richness for a new generation to admire and preserve.
BEAUTIFULLY BOUND AND JACKETED, ONLY GIVES A CLUE AS TO THE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY WITHIN ITS COVERS. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ACCOMPANIED BY BRIEF BIOS OF EACH INTERESTING PHOTOGRAPHER, EVERY PHOTOGRAPH HAS CUT LINES AGAIN BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER. I WAS ESPECIALLY ENTHRALLED WITH THE FIRST CHAPTER IN THS BOOK (AMERICO ARDOLINO'S), " A FRACTION OF A SECOND". MR. ARDOLINOS' CUTS WERE INTUITIVE AND INSPIRING. HIS WRITINGS COMPLIMENTED HIS IMAGES AND HAS ALL THE EARMARKS OF A MASTER. I DO SO HOPE HE MAY BE FOUND SO I MAY VIEW IMAGES AND BE INSPIRED BY HIS RHETORIC. AMERICO IS THE FIRST IN THIS BOOK AND READING ON I WAS AMAZED OF THE VISIONS OF THE ACCOMPANING 10 PHOTOGRAPHERS AS WELL AS THIER PHOTOGRAPHS. I WAS AMAZED BY THE DIVERSITY OF THIER LIVES AND AT THE KEEN EYE OF 5 CORNERS PUBLICATIONS TO BRING THESE 11 TOGETHER. I UNDERSTAND THAT "AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHERS AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY" NATURE AND LANDSCAPES, IS THE SECOND IN THE SERIES, THE FIRST BEING " PEOPLE". I'VE YET TO FIND THIS EDITION, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE WAS TO BE 12 SUCH BOOKS, BUT THE COMPANY BECAME INSOLVENT. WE ARE LEFT WITH THIS SECOND IN THE SERIES . I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT ANYONE WHO OWNS ONE OF THESE SHOULD BE PROUD TO DISPLAY IT IN THIER ABODES, AND IF YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY AS TO HAVE A SIGNED COPY BY ANY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS, ITS WORTH WILL SOAR . THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PUBLICATIONS THAT IS DISCOVERED LATE AND WHEN PROPERLY REVIEWED AND EMBELLISHED WILL GAIN DESIRABILITY AND WORTH. THE PRICES I HAVE SEEN FOR THIS ARE GROSSLY UNDERPRICED AND RECOMMEND AS I HAVE TO SWOOP IN AND PURCHASE THEM . ITS NOT OFTEN THAT A BOOK OF THIS CALIBER MAY BE PURCHASED FOR GIFTING AT SUCH A REASONABLE COST. LEONARDO
