"Drahomir Joseph Ruzicka, a Manhattan physician, was prominent among the pictorialists who acquired their reputations after World War I. Known throughout his photographic career as Dr. D. J. Ruzicka, he began showing his work in the 1910s and by the next decade had become a recognized salon exhibitor. He was a founding member of such groups as the Pictorial Photographers of America and the Pittsburgh Salon and an inspiration to camera clubs throughout the country. New York City was his favorite subject, and his images of the interior of Pennsylvania Station, always depicted with shafts of volume-defining sunlight, became something of a trademark." (Peterson). Illustrated with forty-nine striking full page photographs, including three double page plus a few in-text. The selection includes 'monumental' photographs taken in Prague, Venice, Rome, at the Pennsylvania Railway Station in New York, the Brooklyn Bride, etc. but also idyllic scenes in 'romantic' settings, landscapes as well as 'street photography,' e.g. depicting a family watching a parade passing by or a blind couple in Venice. Contains chronology and bibliography at rear. Text in English and Czech. Very light wear along edges of dustjacket, else in fine condition.
