Bruce Davidson
Subway (Signed Copy)
1986
Book hardbound
0 x 0 in. (0 x 0 mm)
Aperture, New York, 1986. First edition. Oblong quarto. Cloth, near fine in near fine dust jacket. Signed by the photographer on half title. An extraordinary book which picks up where Walker Evan's 1940's photographs of the New York Subway published in 1966 in "Many are Called" leave off. These gritty color images "move from the menacing to the lyrical, from the soulful to the satiric. They include lovers, commuters, tourists, families, and the homeless." The book was reprinted by the St. Ann's Press in 2003, but this is the scarce first edition, made even rarer by the presence of the photographer's signature.

Margo Davis
Under One Sky
2004
Book hardbound
12-1/4 x 12-1/4 in. (311 x 311 mm)
Stanford University Press, Stanford, CA, 2004. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 94 pages. The 60 b&w plates in this large-format book are portraits created between 1968 and 2003. Straightforward and sensitive to the range of the human condition, Margo Davis's black-and-white portraits have been a mainstay of American photography for decades. A former teacher at the Ansel Adams Yosemite Workshops, Davis' images capture their subjects unsentimentally yet with palpable affection and an emphasis on place and context. This volume collects 40 years of her best work, with 60 superbly reproduced plates. The result is an exceptional sharpness of detail and richness of tonality to rival the originals. Generally in near mint condition with two closed tears on the dust jacket.
