Hardcover. Zustand: Good- to very good condition. First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. Original photographic dust-jacket over olive cloth. Scarce first edition of this remarkable photographic history of the Spanish civil war. "Unlike Ehrenburg's book, Capa's diary in Death in the Making is picture- rather then text-led. It contains not just Capa's photographs including many that defined modern war photography but also images by his lover, the journalist Gerda Taro, who was accidentally killed by a tank near Brunete in 1937. In a real sense, this book is her memorial, as Capa's eloquent frontispiece announces. The Spanish Civil War was an important conflict, not just because it was the first direct challenge to fascism, but also in terms of modern photojournalism, it witnessed the birth of the modern war photographer, exemplified by Capa, a figure who, because of his nominal independence from the military authorities, could perhaps be considered a more reliable witness than the 'official' photographers." (Parr/Badger, Vol. 1, page 139). Dustjacket with wear along edges, medium chips at lower foredge, tail of spine and, less pronounced along upper edge and lower back cover. Binding and block with light age-toning.

Henry Francis du Pont was such a consummate artist, and the canvas was his beloved garden at Winterthur, du Pont's home from his birth in 1880 until his death in 1969. The sumptuous masterpiece he created in Wilmington, Delaware, is now open for the public to enjoy, but for years it functioned as a private horticultural laboratory where du Pont, primarily known as a visionary collector of American decorative arts, experimented as much with the landscape as with individual plant species gathered from the far corners of the globe. In "The Winterthur Garden, author Denise Magnani, curator of landscape at Winterthur, offers an intimate portrait of both the man and his environment. Magnani's text and additional essays are breathtakingly illustrated by landscape photographer Carol Betsch's lush pictures of this impeccably preserved national treasure. This newly issued paperback edition also features a new foreword by Winterthur's current director, Leslie Greene Bowman." ; apart from presence of writing on the title page, the condition is VG/VG.

"Die legendäre Aufnahme eines tödlich getroffenen spanischen Freiheitskämpfers machte Robert Capa schlagartig weltberühmt. Wie kein anderer vermochte er dem Schrecken des Krieges in der Fotografie Ausdruck zu verleihen. Aber er war nicht nur einer der besten Fotografen der Welt, der kein Risiko scheute, um das Grauen aus nächster Nähe zu dokumentieren, sondern er war auch ein Lebemann, der in den Künstlerszenen von Madrid, Paris und London verkehrte. Paris blieb auch, nachdem er in die USA emigriert war, der Dreh- und Angelpunkt seines Lebens. Die hier erstmals veröffentlichten Dokumente und persönlichen Gegenstände, die in seinem Pariser Atelier gefunden wurden, erzählen die Geschichte seines Lebens und seiner berühmten Fotografen-Kollegen, Freunde und Lieben. Die Autoren erlauben einen Blick hinter die Fassade des Kriegsfotografen und geben spannende Einblicke in die Entstehung eines bedeutenden Werks und einer faszinierenden Legende."

"In late December 2007, three small cardboard boxes arrived at the International Center of Photography from Mexico City after a long and mysterious journey. These tattered boxes the so-called Mexican Suitcase contained the legendary Spanish Civil War negatives of Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and David Seymour (known as "Chim"). Rumors had circulated for years of the survival of the negatives, which had disappeared from Capa's Paris studio at the beginning of World War II. Together, these roles of film constitute an inestimable record of photographic innovation and war photography, but also of the great political struggle to determine the course of Spanish history and to turn back the expansion of global fascism. The two-volume publication The Mexican Suitcase accompanies a major exhibition at the International Center of Photography opening in September 2010. The catalogue features essays by Paul Preston, Simon Dell, David Balsells i Solé, Michel Lefebvre, Bernard Lebrun, Brian Wallis, Cynthia Young, and Kristen Lubben, as well as a complete reproduction of the 4,500 negatives in the suitcase."
