Photograph by Homer Page (detail)

Welcome

Since 1976, we have specialized in rare, out-of-print, and antiquarian books, ephemera, and original photographs concerned with all aspects of photography from its pre-history to the modern era. Periodically, electronic catalogues are issued; appraisal and collection development services are offered. Please note that new items are added daily.

I am pleased to announce the publication of the new catalogue, E-List 18 a group of 50 diverse and interesting books, prints and ephemera on or about photography. These include 6 fine works from 21ST Editions, all with signed original platinum or silver prints by Greg Gorman, David Halliday, Michael Kenna, Sheila Metzner, and Robert and Shanna ParkeHarrison; books by John Gossage, Nobuyoshi Araki, A.A. Dutton, Tore Johnson, Les Krims, Larry Sultan and Mike Madel, and W. Eugene Smith. Also included is the rare, true first edition of Bill Ownes' SUBURBIA, limited to just 250 copies in slipcase; an album of photographs of Mexico from c. 1900 by C.B. Waite; a stunning portrait daguerreotype of a blind man; Man Ray and Jean Cocteau's L'ANGE HEURTEBISE 1925; and two portfolios of signed original silver gelatin photographs by Brett Weston

This sampling is but a fraction of my inventory, and I welcome your desiderata.
