12752X1 First Edition. The Eakins Press, New York: 1966. Unpaginated. Hardcover, no dustjacket. Good condition. Gift inscription signed by the author. Some stains to the covers. The twelve large sheet-fed gravure images are in very good condition. An American photographer best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression. Much of Evans' work from the FSA period uses the large-format 8x10 in view camera, which when used directly in front of a subject would create the appearance of a dispassionate viewpoint. In 1966, Message From The Interior set a new standard for photographic reproduction and presentation. The twelve large sheet-fed gravure images, in their resplendent velvet-black ink, are a historical testament to the genius of American's greatest photographer. The photographs were taken between 1931 and 1962, from Maine to Alabama. The profound afterword by John Szarkowski is a milestone of appreciation for Evans's work. $4500.00USD
