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 20 a group of 38 diverse and interesting books, prints and ephemera on or about photography. These include two books by Frederic Boissonnas, including his elusive CYCLADES RN CRETE; an iconic photogravure of the Flat Iron Building by Alfred Stieglitz; limited edition artist's books by Robert Heinecken and Edward Ruscha; a rare and beautiful collaboration by Jean Cocteau and Pierre Jahan, LA MORT ET LES STATUES; a signed off-print by Gordon Parks, and 3 titles dealing with pinhole photography.

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