Let Us Now Praise Famous Men
- Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1941
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1941. Some scuffing to black cloth boards, with minor blemish at joint; close to near fine. In an unclipped copy of the illustrated jacket, with typical fading to spine, minor edge-wear, and slight creasing to crown; also close to near fine.. First Edition. Thick octavo. It's a testament to Evans' vision that thirty-one of his photographs—bound in the front of a book published with little fanfare, and set against the backdrop of over 450 pages of verbose text—could have had such an influence on the history of documentary photograph. (Parr/Badger, v1, 44; Roth 108-109).
