"This first Year book published by "Photography" is intended as an annual survey of every branch and aspect of photography. In selecting the illustrations our guiding factor has been to cover every field; to present hundreds of specimens demonstrating the many applications of photography." Illustrated with more than 1700 reproductions of duotone photographs from around the world including photographs from Ansel Adams, Cecil Beaton, Margaret Bourke-White, Brassai, Dothory Wilding, Tina Modotti, Moholy-Nagy, Norman Parkinson, Man Ray, Edward Steichen, & Edward Weston. Introduction in English, German, Spanish and French. Priced as unfortunately incomplete with minor losses and faults as listed, but still a stunning pre-war vintage/period photographic array, including a common image at the time that highlighted the Nazi swastika and many wonderful images by Moholy-Nagy who later had to flee Nazi Germany to take refuge in the United Kingdom.
