From the introduction by Hugo Weber: '[Callahan] also comes up with refinements of vision which makes one wonder whether if he might be the reincarnation of Hokusai. He makes you think he invented those leaves of grass all by himself. What puzzles me, is why he prints his photographs so dark. I think he does it to make you look twice, wanting to highlight the essence of his vision.' Limited edition of 1500 copies. Hardcover in black boards with slipcase. Bright silver titles on front cover and spine. Offsetting on hinges from publisher's glue, as in most copies. Fine in a near fine slipcase.

Description: np, 126 duotone plates. With a bibliography by Bernard Karpel. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. Published in a stated edition of fifteen hundred copies, this exquisite 1964 Harry Callahan monograph is notoriously scarce as it has been widely reported that only half of these were actually ever bound for sale.
