Growing Up Harley-Davidson is the history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles no one else knew - until now! Jean Davidson, the granddaughter of Walter Davidson, one of the four founders and the first president of Harley-Davidson, shares such secrets as: how a slippery-handed maid stole all the company's earnings from the coffee can that served as their "bank"; how a hermit uncle donated his life's savings to resurrect the company and set it on the path to becoming the world's most famous motorcycle maker.

Leffingwell, Randy; Holmstrom, Darwin: The Harley-Davidson Motor Co. Archiv-Kollektion Vorw. v. Bill Davidson, DELIUS KLASING, 019 ISBN: 3768852741
Seit ihren frühesten Tagen produziert die Harley-Davidson Motor Company jeweils ein Exemplar jedes Modelljahrgangs für das firmeneigene Archiv. Über die Jahrzehnte entstand so eine vollständige Sammlung Hunderter Motorräder - die vielleicht interessanteste Motorradsammlung der Welt. Als Harley-Davidson schließlich auf ein ganzes Jahrhundert Geschichte zurückblicken konnte, beschloss man, diesen Schatz in einem eigenen Museum öffentlich zugänglich zu machen. Während das Museum gebaut wurde, verbrachte der Fotograf Randy Leffingwell Monate in den Räumen der Archivsammlung und schuf atemberaubende Porträts der historischen Maschinen. Darunter befinden sich auch Sondermodelle und bisher kaum gezeigte Exemplare - wie die geheimnisvolle Nova, die zusammen mit der Firma Porsche entwickelt wurde. So entstand aus der einzigartigen Sammlung des Harley-Davidson-Archivs ein unvergleichliches Buch. Es präsentiert die gesamte Modellgeschichte des heute traditionsreichsten Motorradherstellersder Welt in wunderschönen Abbildungen, ergänzt von informativen Hintergrundtexten des Harley-Spezialisten Darwin Holmstrom. Überwältigende Gesamtansichten und hochinteressante Detailaufnahmen der wichtigsten und spannendsten Modelle machen dieses Buch zu einem herausragenden Werk über die große Marke Harley-Davidson. Ein Muss für jeden Fan!

Davidson, Bruce: England. Scotland 1960. ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, 2005. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread condition; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil. Hardcover in linen with dustjacket. With essays by Mark Haworth-Booth and Bruce Davidson. Edited by Edited by Bruce Davidson and Michael Mack. 192 pages, 120 tritone plates 235 x 270 mm. In 1960, after completing an intense year photographing a notorious Brooklyn street gang called "The Jokers", Bruce Davidson decided that he needed to remove himself from the tension, depression, and potential violence connected to that work. He was given an assignment to photograph Marilyn Monroe during the making of John Houston's film The Misfits in the Nevada desert, and then travelled to London on a special commission for The Queen magazine. Edited by Jocelyn Stevens, The Queen was a magazine devoted to British life-style and Davidson was charged, with no specific agenda, to spend a couple of months touring England and Scotland to build a visual portrait of the two countries. England/Scotland 1960 offers a poetic insight into the very heart of English and Scottish cultures. Reflecting a post-war era in which the revolutions of the 1960s had hardly yet filtered into the mainstream, Davidson's photographs reveal countries riven by difference - the extremes of city and country life, of the landed gentry and the common people - and lucidly portrays the mood of these times in a personal and provocative imagery that is as fresh today as it was in that time. Published in this book for the first time in its entirety, this is one of the undiscovered gems of late twentieth century documentary photography. Bruce Davidson began photography at the age of ten in Oak Park, Illinois. He attended the Rochester Institute of Technology and Yale University and was later drafted into the army and stationed near Paris where he met Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the four founders of the renowned international cooperative photo agency, Magnum Photos. After military service, in 1957, Davidson worked as a freelance photographer for Life Magazine and in 1958 became a full member of Magnum Photos. From 1958 to 1961 he created such seminal bodies of work as The Dwarf, Brooklyn Gang, and the Freedom Rides. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962 to photograph what became a profound documentation of the Civil Rights Movement in America. In 1963 the Museum of Modern Art in New York presented his work in a solo show. In 1966 he was awarded the first grant for photography from the National Endowment for the Arts, and spent two years bearing witness to the dire social conditions on one block in East Harlem. This work was published by Harvard University Press in 1970 under the title East 100th Street and was later republished and expanded by St. Ann's Press. The work became an exhibition that same year at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1980 he captured the vitality of the New York Metro's underworld that was later published in his book Subway and exhibited at the International Center for Photography in 1982. In 1995 he photographed the landscape and layers of life of Central Park. Davidson continues to create classic bodies of work from his 50-year career that have been extensively published in monographs and are included in all the major public and private fine art collections around the world.***************Steidl, Göttingen, 2005.
