SELF-PORTRAIT: U.S.A.

Beschreibung

Folio, 240 pp., b&w images from photographs interspersed within the text. Gilt-embossed cloth. Gummed price sticker affixed to the illustrated endpaper. A very good copy in the illustrated dust jacket. [with] Four vintage photographs on 8 x 10 inch photographic paper, all are stamped on the blank reverse, "PHOTO BY DAVID DOUGLAS DUNCAN, UNAUTHORIZED REPRODUCTION PROHIBITED"; all are reproduced in the book: Republican Delegate, page 36, slight crease to the blank lower right tip, signed in ink by the photographer; Delegate from Connecticut, page 132-133 ; Delegate from Connecticut page 138-139, top right tip cracked; Hubert Humphrey, page 169. With the exception of the two slight flaws, the photographs are fine. Duncan, a former U.S. Marine photographer (This is War! and War without Heros) and frequent contributor to LIFE magazine turned his camera towards the "war at home"- the fight for the presidency at the height of the U.S. involvement in Viet Nam. This book is a chronological document of the 1968 Republican and Democrat conventions. It is a startling view of the machine of American politics at a time of deep strife and contention. Duncan's camera is remarkably impartial and revealing.
