Item description from seller

White wraps with color and b&w illustration and black lettering; 196 pp.; chiefly illustrations (some color). In 1967, Danny Lyon turned his camera toward life in American prisons. "Conversations with the Dead" reflects fourteen months he spent looking and listening inside six Texas penitentiaries. Free to enter the prisons at any time of day or night, Lyon moved among the prisoners as they functioned in groups, and as they existed in isolation. He photographed men in their cells, in the fields, working, eating, daydreaming -- passing so much time. Befriending them, he records the personal testimonies of their lives and the official documents which condemn them to living death. -- rear cove. Good (Ex art library with a sticker to front cover and inside rear cover, with penciled markings on half-title; wraps are edgeworn/scuffed/smudged/toned; front cover is curling upward; textblock edges are toned/scuffed/smudged; interior is clean but lightly age toned; binding is solid.).
