On Photography by Susan Sontag

Published by The Folio Society in 2022 (First Printing) Introduced by Mia Fineman. Bound in blocked cloth with a black & white photographic label. Set in Walbaum as display with Akzidenz.

From The Folio Society website:

"Sontag illuminates her text with references to many photographers pivotal in the history of photography, as well as some of the most memorable and iconic images of the 20th century. Working closely with Mia Fineman, we have collated 21 of these images, primarily from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA, two of the most prestigious photographic archives in the world. All beautifully reproduced, the photographs have been positioned throughout the text. As Fineman writes in her newly commissioned introduction to the edition, these images: ‘are intended to enhance and amplify Sontag’s text, to provide a visual anchor for the mind’s eye, and hopefully, to summon a bit of the medium’s magic’."
