Letters, scrapbooks, diaries, photo albums and ephemera from the past are a gift from prior generations to the future. In history books and memoirs, we can read about important events, memorize dates and learn about the principle players. But to understand how it felt to live at a significant time and how it affected people of that time and place, their own accounts are the vehicle that will transport us.
LEATHER BINDINGS fine, attractive, and interesting (with our publishers' cloth offered separately); books of many sorts and eras.
Recent acquisitions: these include works signed by Harry Callahan, Lucien Clergue, Imogen Cunningham, Judy Dater, Arnold Genthe, Ralph Gibson, Emmet Gowin, Barbara Kruger and others.
