Edward Weston: Fifty Years
Peter Bradford, Millerton, New York, 1973
Description
The book was designed to present, at last, a comprehensive and definitive view of the life and work of one of the world’s great photographers. The prints, presented in their original size (8 x 10) and with the highest possible quality of reproduction, determined the size and tone of the book. The text, Ben Maddow’s biography of the artist, provides a frame of reference for the photographs and allows the reader new insight into Edward Weston and his work.
Special feaures: Plates are printed in two colors of blank ink\, specially formulated for this book.
