Item Details

Description

MORTENSEN, William. Two Books - 1936 1948. The flamboyant William Mortensen led the movement of pictorial photography after World War I, in part because of the many books he wrote. While they were largely technical in nature, they, nonetheless, were heavily illustrated with his creative images and peppered with his aesthetic ideas. They were invariably issued by San Francisco's Camera Craft Publishing Company, a concern that also published the monthly, Camera Craft, in which Mortensen was highly visible. Projection Control, 1936 (second edition, third printing). Hardcover (red-stamped tan cloth), 9 ¾ x 7 inches, 96 pages, halftone illustrations. Very good condition, in worn dustjacket. The New Projection Control, 1948 (fourth printing). Hardcover (black-stamped brown cloth), 9 ¾ x 6 ¾ inches, 124 pages, halftone illustrations. Very good condition, in worn dustjacket.
