Sander, August; Bohn-Spector, Claudia (Introduction by), and Becher, Hilla, et al. (Contributions by)
August Sander: Photographs from the J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles: J. Paul Getty Museum 2000. 143 pages illustrations; 20 cm. In Focus Series. Tight clean copy. "The long life of German photographer August Sander 1876-1964 spanned one of the most turbulent eras in his country's history. The Great War of 1914-1918 the Weimar Republic the reign of National Socialism and the horrors of World War II all left an indelible imprint on both the man and his work. Sander a conventional studio portraitist who transformed himself into an avant-gardist exemplified the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of his time. He was at once innovative and deeply wedded to the past blending a progressive vision with a traditional view of society and his craft. The approximately fifty plates featured in In Focus: August Sander are some of the most striking from the Getty Museum's more than twelve hundred pictures by the artist. They include images of rural dwellers such as those found in Young Farmers and Farm Girls and other portraits including Wife of the Cologne Painter Peter Abelen Parliamentarianand the poignant Blind Children Dren. A chronological overview of Sander's life provides a factual framework for this discussion." - Publisher. 1st. Paperback. Fine. 8vo. Collectible. J. Paul Getty Museum Paperback

(Vernacular Photography)
1900s photo album from Collinwood OH 175 snapshots: scruffy looking poodles family photos Lakewood school burning in 1908 etc.
Hardcover. Very Good. 12 x 7 leather boards with two large screws to keep in together some riubbing and suffing to binding but very good and solid with about 175 photos of a family probably associated in the R. J. Maple company and family of Collinwood OH a neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland a little north of Cleveland Heights. No family members are identified but there is a photo of people in front of the R. J. Maple storefront and front what we can tell there was a plumbing company by that name in Collinwood. There are also two real photo postcards of the Lakeview School in Collingwood one of which shows it on fire: in 1908 this fire was one of the worst school disasters in American history killing over 160 students and teachers. A motif running through this is the love of three scruffy looking poodles one of which has mastered the art of sitting up on its hind legs and begging. Photos of these dogs represent a small but significant portion of the total number of snapshots. hardcover

(Vernacular Photography - Ohio) Custis, Glenna Miriam (Cairns)
1913-1920s photo album Richmond Ohio family of Rev. Levi Custis
Very Good. Album measures 7.5 x 5.5 stiff paper covers dozens of snapshots mainly charting the growth of daughter Glenna Miriam Custis born in Finlay Ohio in 1913 from babyhood to tweener. There are some nice evocative "vernacular photography" snapshots none is captioned however so the occasional appearance in the album of a pair of women who look like identical twins lends an air of mystery to the sequence of pictures. Glenna 1913-2002 eventually married a preacher herself moved to western Pennsylvania Tarentum and Natrona Heights area and had one daughter now deceased. The album covers Glenna's life in smalltown Ohio. unknown

SIMIC, CHARLES. (PHOTOGRAPHY)
ON THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES
New York: Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art 1996. FIRST EDITION. 362 x 325 mm. 14 1/4 x 12 3/4". 10 leaves. <br/> Publisher's dark blue cloth front cover lettered in gilt forming a circle spine lettered in gilt. With 15 photographic plates by Linda Connor. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR AND ILLUSTRATOR on the limitation page. A virtually pristine copy.<br/> <br/> This beautifully constructed publication by the Whitney Museum is a collaboration of the photography and verse of two of America's major creative minds. Charles Simic 1938-2023 winner of the 1990 Pullitzer Prize in poetry and U. S. Poet Laureate for 2007-08 wrote moving surrealistic poetry based on his own experiences particularly his traumatic childhood in what was then Yugoslavia. This contemplative work interacts with the photographs it accompanies musing on Byzantine churches and the night sky. Linda Connor b. 1944 our photographer presents here a range of quietly lyrical shots including several of her signature photographs using historic glass plate negatives from the Lick Observatory. She has described them as epitomizing "a romantic notion that we have our time span and cultures here on Earth but there’s also this bigger space that we tend to forget." Ours is a very fine copy of what is quite a pleasing production. Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art unknown
