Description: Plum cloth 180 pp. 121 bw plates. glossy plum dustjacket w/ illustration. Part of the Springs Mills Series on the Art of Photography. Volume One of a four-part set featuring the work of French photographer Eugene Atget (1857-1927). "As a photographer Atget did not travel widely, and most of the pictures in this first volume were made within the Ile-de-France, the country's ancient core. They seem nevertheless to represent what is basic and pervasive in the substance and style of the broader French tradition." (p. 8).

Description: First Edition (NAP; The Museum Of Modern Art= NAP). Both the book and the dust jacket are in very nice condition. You can see the maroon covers of the book in the photos. They are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges and corners are in excellent shape, no rubbing on either. The page edges are perfectly clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling. That includes the inside covers and end papers. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases, no turn-down corners. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The preface and an introductory essay titled Atget and the Art of Photography are written by John Szarkowski, 'Director of the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art.' The Notes sections at the end of the book are written by Maria Morris Hambourg. 'The 121 plates in this volume are annotated in absorbing detail by Maria Morris Hambourg.' The Plates section begins at page 29 and concludes on page 148. All of the photographs are in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos (odd angles a not wholly successful attempt to elude glare). The jacket is very clean. There are no tears. There's only the slightest bit of crinkling at the spine ends. There is a very light impression of a paper clip off the top edge of the rear cover. The same impression is visible on the inside cover of the rear cover. The book was not affected by the paper clip. The flaps are in excellent condition, exceptionally clean. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. From the dust jacket: 'John Szarkowski's introductory essay considers the nature of Atget's talent and his contributions to the art of photography. 'He brought to his work a quality that one might describe, inadequately, either as an original eye or original mind. All of his pictures are informed by a precise visual intelligence, by the clarté that is the highest virtue of the classic French tradition. This quality was achieved not by impeccable technique, but by discovering precisely what one meant to say, and saying neither more nor less.' '

Very small letters, "A T, 1981" on the front free end paper. A beautiful copy. From the dust jacket flap, "Eugene Atget was a commercial photographer who worked in and around Paris for more than thirty years. When he died in 1927, his work was known only to a few archivists and artists. To many photographers today his work stands not only as a heroic and original achievement, but as an exemplary pedagogical lesson, the full implications of which are even now only intuitively perceived."
