CALLAHAN, Harry. Water's Edge. Callaway Editions Inc, Lyme, Connecticut, 1980.
Price: US$150.00 + shipping
Description: (13 1/2 x 11 inches). First edition. 48 duo-tone plates, laser-scanned directly from the original photographs and printed in 300-line screen offset lithography. Beige publisher's cloth with gilt title. Fine copy. A photographic exploration of the water's edge, 40 years in the making. Featuring an introductory poem by award-winning poet A.R. Ammons and an afterword composed of edited conversations between Callahan and the publisher. Callahan was widely respected in the photography community for his open mind and experimental attitude, qualities reinforced by his association with Moholy-Nagy and the principles of Bauhaus design. This book is a collection of photographs taken around various bodies of water, Callahan's favorite subject. The forty-eight duo-tone photographs were taken between 1941 and 1980, primarily in Cape Cod but also in more surprising places, such as Detroit and Chicago.

Description: First edition, number 30 of 50 signed copies in set II (of IV), each with a different gelatin silver photograph in an edition of 50 (200 copies in total with an additional 16 hors commerce); folio (340 x 278 mm, 13½ x 11 in); black-and-white photographs printed in duotone offset; cream endpapers, natural linen-covered boards; original gelatin silver photograph (150 x 150 mm, 5 x 5 in) mounted on to rag paper, signed and numbered in pencil in the mount, print laid in to the publisher's grey paper portfolio with title to front in blind, housed together in the publisher's quarter vellum over linen drop spine box with titles stamped in blind on spine, fine; [76]pp. Callahan informally began his series of beach photographs in 1938 at Lake Hutton, where his wife's family had a cottage. But it wasn't until 1946, when he started teaching at the Chicago Institute of Design (The New Bauhaus), that he felt he had taken his first good pictures of the subject, taking photographs on the shore of Lake Michigan, just three blocks from his house. The series took shape when Callahan moved to New England to teach at Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, in 1961. In his afterword, he writes: 'I think that nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness the point where you can't go any farther. I feel I have come close to that at various times with the Beach Series photographs. A determined single-mindedness and an insistent inner need has led me to that point. That is why I have always kept going back, and that is what still keeps me going today - keeps me alive?' The Photobook: A History II, p33.
