One of the two most famous art exhibitions in American history was displayed at the National Arts Club in New York in March 1902. Titled "American Pictorial Photography," the show was organizer and selector Alfred Stieglitz's most powerful argument for photography as an art medium. Several of those whose work was exhibited-- Edward Steichen, Gertrude Kasebier, Frank Eugene, Clarence H. White, F. Holland Day (represented without his consent by prints Stieglitz owned)--are now revered as founding parents of American art photography, and some of their most familiar images were among those exhibited. This elegant volume presents the original exhibition catalog, which lists 162 items, and all the photos that diligent research could find--86. Homer's introductory essay, wonderfully illustrated with more period photos and covers from photography catalogs and magazines, places the show within the context of Stieglitz's long drive to promote artistic photography and explains such particulars as Stieglitz's ad hoc term photo-secession. A glorious centennial commemoration and must-have Americana. (Oh, that other most famous art exhibition? The Armory show of 1913.) Ray Olson
