New York: E.P. Dutton, 1939. Cloth. Very Good -/Good +. A serviceable, perfectly presentable copy of the 1939 stated 1st edition of Berenice Abbott's landmark achievement in pre-War New York photography. Solid and VG- in its dark-blue cloth, with very mild staining to the upper tips of the first 1/3 of the book (lightly affecting the text and the upper edges of the plates). And in a bright, Good only dustjacket, with notable chipping and closed tears and roughly 1/3 of the spine missing.
