Mann, Sally (Photographer) & Price, Reynolds (Contributor). SALLY MANN: IMMEDIATE FAMILY Rare Signed Copy of True First Edition. New York City, NY: Aperture Foundation, 1992.
Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. Collection of photographs. One of the greatest photography books of the 20th century. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, this is the extremely rare First Hardcover Edition. An elegant production by Sally Mann and Wendy Byrne: Oversize-volume format in oblong shape. Gray linen cloth boards with black slk cloth overboards and silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs and text by Sally Mann. Afterword Essay, "For The Family", by Reynolds Price. Duotone separations by Robert Hennessey. Printed and bound by L. E. G. O. Vincenza Italy to the very highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents the still-controversial pictures that put Sally Mann at the forefront of contemporary art photography. Mann photographed her two daughters, Jessie and Virginia, and son Emmett as child nudes, causing a sensation (and charges of exploitation that persist to this day) and creating an instant classic. "Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland home in Lexington, Virginia, Sally Mann's extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her immediate family and ultimately take on a universal quality. Mann states that her work is about everybody's memories as well as their fears, a theme echoed by Reynolds Price in his eloquent, poignantly reflective essay. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Mann's pictures explore the eternal struggle for autonomy, the holding on, and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: Impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in Sally Mann's astonishing photographs" (Aperture Foundation). Mann survived the ensuing controversy largely because there is no living American photographer whose technical perfection, impeccable eye, and sheer artistry can match hers today. "Sally Mann may be the greatest American photographer actively working today" (The New York Times). A "must-have" title for Sally Mann collectors. <b><i> This copy is prominently and beautifully signed in black fountain pen on the title page by Sally Mann. This title remains available in multiple subsequent printings and will probably never go out-of-print. This is the only signed copy of the true First Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Almost all other copies available online are of subsequent printings and have major flaws, have no collectible value, and yet sell for hundreds of dollars. A rare signed copy thus. </b></i> One of the greatest living American photographers. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SALLY MANN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0893815187.

Hardcover in DJ ... BRAND NEW from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned, Never marked ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Jacket protected in New, clear, non-stick mylar sleeve ... 352 pages ... As a child, David Reynolds developed a fascination with the mysterious disappearance of his long-dead grandfather ... He interrogated relatives, read diaries, and , over time , slowly pieced together a spellbinding true story ... The trail led from Dalston in London's East End to a remote town on the edge of the Canadian prairies, by way of a tragic romance in Victorian London, and the harsh life of an impoverished exile ...In these pages Reynolds tells how he unearthed the colourful story of his East End forebears as he came of age in the wildly contrasting milieu of London in the swinging sixties ... Family members from four generations are beautifully drawn - from his great aunt, a music-hall artiste who walked on her hands while playing the violin with her feet, to Reynolds' own father, a complex man best described as a warm-hearted monster ... Humorous, nostalgic and beautifully written, Swan River poignantly plays out the themes of love, loss and the human need for roots and dignity that exists in every age ...
