THE STREET MARKETS OF LONDON

London: John Miles Ltd, 1936. First edition. Very good in fair to poor jacket.. First edition of this fascinating sociological study featuring photographs from L. Moholy-Nagy, in a rare (though partial) example of the dust jacket. Published shortly after Moholy-Nagy was forced to flee Germany after the rise of the Nazi's, THE STREET MARKETS OF LONDON pairs the photographer's generally candid images (taken with his Leica) with journalist Benedetta's somewhat condescending text. Nevertheless, MARKETS remains an under-appreciated photobook. 8.5'' x 6.25''. Original beige linen boards. In (partial) original unclipped (7s. 6d.) jacket. xii, 204 pages. Jacket (truncated) missing lower quarter to third of front panel, spine, and most of rear panel. Heavily worn overall. (Inventory #: 45286)
