About This Item
New York: A Studio Book/The Viking Press, 1967 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition / 2nd Printing. Folio. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 343 pp, b&w photographs throughout with introductory comments by Eisenstaedt to each section. Foreword by Henry R. Luce. Prepared by Milton Orshefsky and edited by Joseph Kastner: Second Printing, 1967. "Eisie shows that the camera could do more than take a striking picture ... it could do more than record the instant moment ... it could deal with an entire subject -- whether the subject was a man, a maker of history, or whether it was a social phenomenon. And that is why Eisenstaedt is called the 'father of photo-journalism'. In this volume Eisie lays the world at the reader's feet." Henry R. Luce. Price clipped. A few minute chips to top edge spine dj, mostly near spine, else, Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Coarse light-beige cloth with blind-stamped title on front board, gilt lettering to spine, and illustrated endpapers..
