Weegee's World
Boston and New York, Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown and Co. 1997. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. pp. 262. 4to. Black cloth over boards, silver lettering to the spine. A remarkable, and harrowing collection of over 260 duotone photographs. No detectable flaws to the extremities, contents equally bright, clean, and unmarked with firm, sound binding; fine and housed in fine dustjacket. A landmark volume on the most celebrated news photographer of this century, Weegee's World features the work of this archetypal hard-bitten tabloid photographer, who was also a modern master of the art of photography. From the 1930s to the 1960s, Weegee's images of murder, mayhem, and New York's seamy underside set a new standard for immediacy and wit - and influenced a generation of imitators. Arthur Fellig, known as Weegee, made a place for himself among newspaper photographers with his feel for the spectacular as well as the story. Working mostly at night, answering the calls of the police and firemen of New York City, Weegee carried out an obsessional documentation of the murders, suicides, accidents, and fires of his city, fascinated by the fringes of society. With a Speed Graphic outfitted with an on-camera flash, he shot in a stark, punchy, in-your-face style, often capturing his subjects in a startling blast of light. His accomplished and well-proven technique lends a brutal objectivity to the scenes he recorded. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the International Center of Photography in New York, this monograph takes advantage of sources until now incomplete or unpublished to present more than 250 images, reproduced in duotone, chosen by Miles Barth, curator at the ICP, with the assistance of editor Gilles Mora.

Bright, clean, and unmarked; fine and housed in fine dustjacket. For the last forty years, Yves Saint Laurent has reigned as one of the most influential and brilliantly inspired couturiers of out time. Since Saint Laurent left his position as designer at the House of Dior to open his own fashion house in 1962 at age 25, his dramatic designs, emphasizing the body and a seductive elegance, have completely revolutionized women s fashion. Yves Saint Laurent was the talk of le tout Paris when he launched his signature collection in 1962, and this book captures the young fashion star on the rise. This behind-the-scenes look at Saint Laurent s first year as an independent designer features outstanding photographs by Life photographer Pierre Boulat, many of which have never been seen before.

[Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada], Canadian Pacific Railway Company, Department of Colonization and Development, N.D. [Circa 1927-1928?]. First Edition, First Printing. Card Covers. Unpaginated [pp. 24]. Oblong 12mo. measuring 14 x 22 cm. Illustrated, twice-stapled covers. Published by the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. Department of Colonization, as part of their efforts to recruit farmers and settlers in Western Canada in the early part of the 20th century. Comprises of twenty-one sepia-tone captioned photographs each capturing in remarkable detail various agricultural scenes throughout the Canadian Prairies. Faint tide-mark to the right margin of the front cover throughout to some of the preliminary leaves (entirely affecting the legibility of the text or of the photographs). Corresponds to Peel 2198, which states a possible publication date of 1895 though this is likely too early. See also OCLC #464429637. Rare in commerce. These scenes are actual photographs, and tell more emphatically than any words, the story of successful agricultural production in Western Canada. They argue convincingly that you, too, can find prosperity and happiness on these low-priced fertile lands.
