Frederick Sommer: 1939-1962, Photographs (Hardcover Edition)

By SOMMER, Frederick
(N.p.): Aperture, Inc., 1962. Bookplate to front pastedown. Faint toning to page margins, with slight pulling at head of spine (a problem endemic to this title) and minor discoloration to white boards. Overall close to near fine.. First Edition. Small quarto. Frederick Sommer's first book, entirely designed by him. Scarce issue in cloth, the first hardcover book ever published by Aperture, more commonly encountered in wrappers as issue 10:4 of Aperture Magazine. By some reputable accounts as few as 50 copies of the cloth edition were printed, although I think the number is closer to 200. (Roth 162–63).
