From the Dust Jacket: "As an innovator in photography [Alvin Langdon Coburn, 1882-1966] is known for his daring angle shots of New York and for his 'vortographs,' the first purely abstract photographs.

Coburn's art ensures that it always will be remembered." Includes Coburn's abstract photos, landscapes as well as portraits of George Bernard Shaw, G. K. Chesterton, George Meredith, Edward Carpenter, Auguste Rodin, Henry James, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, William Butler Yeats, H.G. Wells, Gertrude Stein, Alfred Stieglitz, Henri Matisse, Ezra Pound, Igor Stravinsky, David Lloyd George, and others. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good condition/Good Dust Jacket. 144pp.

Store Description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
