	ALLEN, JAMES, HILTON ALS, CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS & LEON F. LITWACK. JAMES ALLEN, EDITOR WITHOUT SANCTUARY: LYNCHING PHOTOGRAPHY IN AMERICA Santa Fe, NM, Twin Palms Publishers., 2000, First Edition 1/4000. (ISBN: 0-944092-69-1) Cloth in Dust Jacket, 4to, 211pp, 98 color illustrations. Designed by Arlyn Nathan and Jack Woody. "The Tuskegee Institute records the lynching of 3,436 blacks between 1882 and 1950. This is probably a small percentage of these murders, which were seldom reported, and led to the creation of the NAACP in 1909, an organization dedicated to passing federal anti-lynching laws. Through all this terror and carnage someone - many times a professional photographer - carried a camera and took pictures of the events. These lynching photographs were often made into postcards and sold as souvenirs to the crowds in attendance. These images are some of photography's most brutal, surviving to this day so that we may now look back on the terrorism unleashed on America's African-American community and perhaps know our history and ourselves better. The almost one hundred images reproduced here are a testament to the camera's ability to make us remember what we often choose to forget". This is the extremely unsettling book published in 2000 to coincide with a circulating exhibition of examples from James Allen's collection of harrowing vintage photographic scenes of lynchings.

	(AVEDON, RICHARD). THURMAN, JUDITH. RICHARD AVEDON: MADE IN FRANCE San Francisco, Fraenkel Gallery., 2001, First Edition. (ISBN: 1-881337-12-X) Pictorial Boards, Folio, 56pp, 40 quadratone illustrations. This strikingly beautiful monograph stands as an important rediscovery of a small but elegant body of work in the career of one of the world's best-known photographers. The Richard Avedon images presented here, many for the first time, were made in Paris for "Harper's Bazaar" during the 1950s. What is particularly notable about this presentation is that the images have been reproduced to the exact scale of the engraver's prints made for Avedon by the master printer Andre Gremola, and are uncropped, on their original mounts (with all of the artist's notations on both front and back). They provide a remarkable portrait of the working methods of one of the most influential fashion photographers in history. This oversized book, measuring 12 x 15 inches, has been printed without compromise using quadratone plates throughout. Produced in a very small print run, this sold out only a few months following its publication, and has become highly sought after. A most handsome copy.. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued.

	ALLEN, JAMES, HILTON ALS, CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS & LEON F. LITWACK. JAMES ALLEN, EDITOR WITHOUT SANCTUARY: LYNCHING PHOTOGRAPHY IN AMERICA Santa Fe, NM, Twin Palms Publishers., 2000, First Edition 1/4000. (ISBN: 0-944092-69-1) Cloth in Dust Jacket, 4to, 211pp, 98 color illustrations. Designed by Arlyn Nathan and Jack Woody. "The Tuskegee Institute records the lynching of 3,436 blacks between 1882 and 1950. This is probably a small percentage of these murders, which were seldom reported, and led to the creation of the NAACP in 1909, an organization dedicated to passing federal anti-lynching laws. Through all this terror and carnage someone - many times a professional photographer - carried a camera and took pictures of the events. These lynching photographs were often made into postcards and sold as souvenirs to the crowds in attendance. These images are some of photography's most brutal, surviving to this day so that we may now look back on the terrorism unleashed on America's African-American community and perhaps know our history and ourselves better. The almost one hundred images reproduced here are a testament to the camera's ability to make us remember what we often choose to forget". This is the extremely unsettling book published in 2000 to coincide with a circulating exhibition of examples from James Allen's collection of harrowing vintage photographic scenes of lynchings.

This strikingly beautiful monograph stands as an important rediscovery of a small but elegant body of work in the career of one of the world's best-known photographers. The Richard Avedon images presented here, many for the first time, were made in Paris for "Harper's Bazaar" during the 1950s. What is particularly notable about this presentation is that the images have been reproduced to the exact scale of the engraver's prints made for Avedon by the master printer Andre Gremola, and are uncropped, on their original mounts (with all of the artist's notations on both front and back). They provide a remarkable portrait of the working methods of one of the most influential fashion photographers in history. This oversized book, measuring 12 x 15 inches, has been printed without compromise using quadratone plates throughout. Produced in a very small print run, this sold out only a few months following its publication, and has become highly sought after. A most handsome copy.. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued.
