First edition of this breathtaking photo collection from the photographer of the people, Roy DeCarava. Square quarto, original full linen, illustrated with DeCarava’s outstanding black and white photographs. In fine condition.

One of the 20th century's most important photographers, Roy DeCarava practiced photography for almost six decades, spearheading the genre of black and white fine art photography with his affection for the individual creative process. DeCarava's work draws focus to the real lives of black Americans without a serious documentary-style politicization of the experience. While these portraits oftentime model the mundane aspects of daily life, they capture exactly what it means to be human in modern society.
