first edition
1938 · New York
by EVANS, Walker and Lincoln Kirstein
New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 1938. First edition. Hardcover. First printing of 5000 copies. Features an essay by Lincoln Kirstein. A powerful selection of Evans photographs, many of which were derived from his work for the FSA. This monograph was published for the first one man photography show at MOMA and it remains one of the most important and influential photobooks ever. A clean very near fine copy with a small former owner signature to the front free endpaper and with the laid in errata slip in a very good plus dust jacket that has some small chips to the spine ends and corners and some other minor wear. Still, a very nice copy of this modern classic. (Parr & Badger v1, 114-115, Roth 98-99).
