About This Item

Inscribed by Joel & Judith Herschman in 1987 on the endpaper to Lila & Ray. Joel contributed Part One of four parts, while Judith provided extraordinary editorial assistance "This book advances two ideas. First, alternative manners of depicting buildings were apparent from the earliest days of photography and continue to this day ... Second, photographers consciously capitalized on the significant interrelationship between any pair of subjects isolated in a picture in order to make critical statements - Introduction". Extensively illustrated, and many of these appear in public for the first time.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
