Description

Heading:
Author: Weegee
Title: Naked City
Place Published: New York
Publisher:Essential Books
Date Published: [1945]
Description:

Profusely illustrated with screen gravures from photographs. 23.5x17 cm (9¼x6½"), gray buckram lettered in black, pictorial endpapers; publisher's dust jacket. First Edition.

The first book of Arthur Fellig, known to the world as Weegee for his stark black and white street photography. He worked in the Lower East Side of New York City as a press photographer during the 1930s and '40s, and he developed his signature style by following the city's emergency services and documenting their activity. Much of his work depicted unflinchingly realistic scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death.

Condition

Jacket worn, chips and tears along edges and ends of spine; faint toning to cloth; near fine in very good jacket.
