THE RECORDING EYE:
A Hundred Years of Great Events As Seen By the Camera;
1839-1939

By Helmut and Alison Gernsheim

New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, (1960).

First American edition, first printing.

Contains publisher's "First American Edition 1960" statement.

Helmut was a highly acclaimed historian of photography, a collector, who amassed over 33,000 photographs that are now housed at the University of Texas, and an awarded professional photographer.

This beautifully produced hundred year chronicle of major world events brags two-hundred-sixty striking photographs--many quite rare, and  fifty-thousand words of descriptive text.

Helmut and Alison leave their readers with a sharable warm feeling, and an expressed, artful knowledge, of a time gone by.

Fine in black linen with gilt embossed titles to the spine; in a very nearly fine dust jacket with a barely perceptible crimp to the lower spine end; original $7.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.

Lovely presentable condition.

Quarto; 254 pages; foreword; index.
