His photographs give a peek into the working-day lives of film stars, extras, and crew members - the creaters of Hollywood's golden era. Among the luminaries photographed by Swope were his close friends Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda, as well as Norma Shearer, Burgess Meredith, Olivia de Havilland, Charles Boyer, and W. C. Fields. Camera Over Hollywood is a unique, vintage portrait of Hollywood as it really was." - Publisher.. SIGNED. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to. Collectible.
