Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1941. 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). Some scuffing to black cloth boards, with minor blemish at joint; close to near fine. In near fine copy of the illustrated jacket, with typical fading to spine, and minor edge-wear.
