Illustrated by Riis, Jacob A. Fair in Fair dust jacket. 0912334665. 220 pages. Riis "took pictures to document and expose the everyday misery of the despairing and often unseen poor."-from Introduction. "The remarkable journalist and reformer Jacob Riis was the forerunner in America's great tradition of documentary photography. This book brings together for the first time a full selection of Riis's photographs and a detailed account of his extraordinary years with a camera...To Riis, an immigrant struggling to expose human misery in the slums of New York nearly a century ago, such other possibilities as art and self-expression were of no concern. He was a muckraking journalist, to whom fact was the 'mightiest lever', and he took up the camera only because it offered new firepower in his crusade for social justice. Self-taught, he became America's first true journalist-photographer-a pioneer in the use of flash and in obtaining entry to and photographing previously inaccessible slum dwellings."-from dust jacket. "The photographs are direct and penetrating, as raw as the sordid scenes which they so often represent."-Beaumont Newhall, in "History of Photography". Usual library markings. Average wear.
