New York A Studio Book. The Viking Press 1966

First American edition published in parallel with the British first edition published by Thames and Hudson. 12pp + 128pp photographs mostly in black and white. Captions to the photographs listed at the back of the book. 4to. Very good in dust wrapper which has a tiny repair on the fold into the rear flap of the dust wrapper and small chip at head of spine and upper corner. Fabulous anthology of Brandt images. Brandt started his career in photography as a pupil of Man Ray in 1929 and moved to London as a free lance photographer in 1931 to become a leading photographer of the British scene adopting a photo method employing deep contrasts between shadows and light to produce his distinctive images. A lovely copy of this book which contains a carefully curated selection of Brandt's photographs.
