Roman Vishniac.

signed

'The ninety-eight photographs in this book, twenty of which are in colour, are divided almost equally between these two expressions of Roman Vishniac's ''reverence for life'' - be it life that is invisible, or the life that vanished. Essays by Eugene Kinkead and by Vishniac himself accompany the photographs'.

First edition, signed on front free endpaper; sml. 4to (220 x 190 mm); colour and black & white photographic illustrations; publisher's black cloth, lettering in white to spine, slight fading to edges, pictorial dust-jacket, toned, slight rubbing to extremities, otherwise very good.
