Una piccola dedica ms. alla prima carta bianca. Una minuscola mancanza al margine della sovracoperta del piatto anteriore peraltro ottimo stato di conservazione. Prima edizione ricercata e ormai poco reperibile di uno dei più celebri libri fotografici italiani del '900 straordinaria documentazione visiva sul paese natio di Zavattini Luzzara in provincia di Reggio Emilia e sulla sua pittoresca umanità. Narra Zavattini: Nel 1954 il famoso fotografo e cineasta americano Paul Strand venne a Roma da lontano e disse: Facciamo un libro insieme Lo abbracciai lo portai a Luzzara ve lo lasciai a lungo con i suoi occhi giusti e una macchina antica a treppiede. Fu così che nel 1955 Einaudi pubblicò Un paese. In quell'anno 1955 l'ambiente dei fotografi fu turbato in Italia da altri fatti: la maestosa rassegna The Family of Man curata da Steichen per il Museum of Modern Art di New York e due volumi d'immagini Un paese di Paul Strand e New York di William Klein. Attorno a questi due episodi si coalizzarono le tendenze della nostra fotografia qualcuno trovò anche conferme specialmente in The Family of the Man e in Un paese che cominciò a dimenticare le iniziative autarchiche sia pure sollecitanti come quelle de La Bussola e degli altri circoli per seguire opportunamente le tracce indicate dalle correnti mondiali che potevano ora essere configurate nell'opera di tre maestri: Steinert Strand una lezione di partecipante realismo nella tradizione delle ricerche americane sullo specifico tra gli anni '20 e '30 Klein Zannier 1986 p. 304.

1917réf. 32961Chicago 1917. Very Good. Chicago: 1917. Typed letter signed with postally-used envelope from a David J. Evans to "Aunt Ann" dated May 31 1917. Mail folds to letter else Very Good. The letter details the death of a Wallis in the immediate aftermath of the declaration of a strike at the United Verde Mine in Jerome Arizona. Evans reports "Wallis had been working in a tunnel and from accounts received the strikers had set fire to the station building of the rail-road. At the fire the men inside the tunnel Wallis probably in the lead on account of his fleetness of foot rushed out and up a narrow path single file towards the burning building. Four men were shot two of whom were killed Wallis being one of the unfortunate ones." The May strike highlighted a rift between the International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers MMSW and the Industrial Workers of the World IWW. This strike was called by the MMSW and was initially supported by the IWW until they were rebuffed and called for a larger general strike later in the summer. A sad but illuminating document of mining and labor history. . unknown
