About This Item
Syracuse, NY: Light Work, 1999. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/issued without. Small 4to, 64 pages, black cloth, with photo inset on top cover
Autographed in pencil by Schneider on the title-page. "... explores the issue of identity, the leitmotif of the portrait, by delving into the microcosm of the body where the instructions for the self are encrypted. ... challenges the traditional definition of the portrait and revises our understanding of what it means to be revealed before the camera's lens, by juxtaposing the visible and the invisible, the message and its embodied characteristics - Ann Thomas."

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.
