Vintage Gelatin silver print of an aerial view of the ruins of Vaux, France. 1918. The print measures 5"x7". Edward Steichen fled Paris for New York in the autumn of 1914 at the onset of World War I. Three years later, he returned to France, wanting to become "a photographic reporter, as Mathew Brady had been in the Civil War". Steichen made aerial photographs for the U.S. Army's air reconnaissance division; his pictures were used to survey enemy territory, record enemy movements and locate gun encampments. Major Edward Steichen became chief of the Photographic Section of the AEF in Auguest 1918. This early print, one of Steichen's prime examples of aerial reconnnaissance photography, has held up nicely. Light chipping at the lower left corner, otherwise bright and clean and well-preserved. Handsomely matted and framed as well.

The 1956 true 1st edition, SIGNED BY WILLIAM KLEIN on the title page and DATED (in a playful, anarchistic way) 1955, the year before the book was published. (This copy was in fact signed in Brooklyn in the early 2000s but Klein intentionally dated it a year before its release). Tight and clean and VG+ in its dark cloth, with bright, unflecked lettering along the spine. Quarto, Klein's crisp black-and-white photos thruout. One of the seminal titles in post-War photography, a deserved "Roth 101" selection.

1933 1st edition, 2nd issue. Very unusual edition, incorporating the original sheets printed by Ballou in 1933 with the Bobbs-Merrill title page. The cloth is red, instead of the blue used by Ballou. The dust jacket is also different, with the illustration in this issue being a variant of the 1st issue illustration. Ballou, the book's original publisher, went backrupt in 1934 and was bought out by Bobbs-Merrill. As a precursor to that acquisition, Bobbs seems to have experimented with some of the Ballou titles, merging their sheets with its own imprint. The result here is a very uncommon issue. Some water staining to the preliminary pages, otherwise clean and tight and solidly VG. A degree of water staining as well to the lower half of the jacket's panels and light chipping to the spine extremes. Still though, presentable and attractive and soldly VG-. Thick octavo, 251 pgs. A legendary collaboration of Julia Peterkin's empathetic text and Doris Ullmann's moving photoghraphs
