Features a preface by Ansel Adams and text by Alexander Alland, Sr. A collection of black and white images from this important American photographer who often worked to document the ills of society. A tight near fine copy in black cloth boards with… some offsetting to the front and rear endpapers from the flaps of the near fine price clipped dust jacket with some sunning to and along the spine and edges.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Printing. 220 pages. Riis "took pictures to document and expose the everyday misery of the despairing and often unseen poor." - from Introduction. "The remarkable journalist and reformer Jacob Riis was the forerunner in America's great tradition of documentary ph…otography. This book brings together for the first time a full selection of Riis's photographs and a detailed account of his extraordinary years with a camera. To Riis, an immigrant struggling to expose human misery in the slums of New York nearly a century ago, such other possibilities as art and self-expression were of no concern. He was a muckraking journalist, to whom fact was the 'mightiest lever', and he took up the camera only because it offered new firepower in his crusade for social justice. Self-taught, he became America's first true journalist-photographer - a pioneer in the use of flash and in obtaining entry to and photographing previously inaccessible slum dwellings." - from dust jacket. "The photographs are direct and penetrating, as raw as the sordid scenes which they so often represent." - Beaumont Newhall, in "History of Photography". Usual library markings. Average wear. Binding sound. A worthy reference copy of this unforgettable compilation. Riis, Jacob A. (illustrator).
