Hardcover. Condition: New. The first full-length book to explore Henry Beach and his photographic legacy. Henry M. Beach was a prolific and accomplished upstate New York photographer who documented the North Country during the first quarter of the twentieth century.

Illustrated with over 250 examples of his work including ten panoramic foldouts, this book covers the range of Beach's subject matter.

Beach's best works stir the heart and provoke the imagination, and his whimsical, down-to-earth approach to photography produced images that are a treat to the eye.…
