New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1976. First American Edition. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. A fine first American edition in a very near fine, unclipped dust jacket. Brown embossed cloth with gilt stamping on spine. Half-title shows a binder's error where page was left partially uncut and folded in. Binding is strong and square on this large and heavy volume. Full page sepia plates of the artists' work throughout. Dust jacket shows a small stain to back cover and mildest of shelf wear. Dust jacket now protected in a clear, removable, archival cover. 363 pp. plus index, i-viii. Quarto, 10 x 11 inches tall. Shipping may be extra on this large and heavy volume. In 1843 painter David Octavius Hill joined engineer Robert Adamson to form Scotland's first photographic studio. During their brief partnership that ended with Adamson's untimely death, Hill & Adamson produced "the first substantial body of self-consciously artistic work using the newly invented medium of photography." Watercolorist John Harden, on first seeing Hill & Adamson's calotypes in November 1843, wrote, "The pictures produced are as Rembrandt's but improved, so like his style & the oldest & finest masters that doubtless a great progress in Portrait painting & effect must be the consequence." --wikipedia

EX-LIBRARY,WITHDRAWN STAMPED INSIDE COVERS,LIGHT FOXING THRU OUT,3RD PRINTING,STICKER ON SPINE.SQUARE, TIGHT, TOUCH OF SHELFWEAR. Soiled covers. Because of ex-library rebinding is condition of Good, this is much more than that and better than those higher cost listed for sale. The 7th pic has 2 heavy stains which are tape residue and maybe tape is still there. but pages behind it clear up for the most part. The value of this book is that it is the first edition(meaning no changes were made and is one is rare of this authors work). And the Pulitzer Prize winner for Drama. I've had this one in my collection for over 15 years and was hoping to find a better copy, but as you can see the prices kept going up.
