Cloth. Condition: Very Good -. Dust Jacket Condition: Good +. A serviceable, perfectly presentable copy of the 1939 stated 1st edition of Berenice Abbott's landmark achievement in pre-War New York photography. Solid and VG- in its dark-blue cloth, with very mild staining to the upper tips of the first 1/3 of the book (lightly affecting the text and the upper edges of the plates). And in a bright, Good only dustjacket, with notable chipping and closed tears and roughly 1/3 of the spine missing. Still though, most of the text is very clean, the vast majority of the plates crisp, bright and unmarred. A starter copy, to be sure, for those looking for a true 1st edition in its elusive iconic dustjacket. But uncommon and desirable, even as such. (From the title page: "A Publication of the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration -- In the City of New York, under the Sponsorship of the Guilds' Committee for Federal Writers' Publications, Inc.").

First Edition
4to. xiv, [16-206 pp (unpaginated).] Including photo frontisp., 96 photo plates, each with facing explanatory text. Blue tweed boards, black lettering & FAP logo on front cover, black lettering on spine (minor bumping head & foot of spine, edgewear, wear to corners, ffep renewed), w/ d.j. wraparound photo cover art by Abbott (chips & tears to front cover, corner, & spine, repaired & restored, paper restoration to verso), VG-/G- copy. First edition, stated, of this exceptional photo essay presenting 97 of Abbott's images documenting New York during the Great Depression on the eve of World War II. Abbott was a former model and assistant to Man Ray, friend to Marcel Duchamp, and participated in Dadaist publications who was responsible for rescuing and promoting the photos of Eugene Atget which chronicled 30 years of Parisian streetscapes as "realism unadorned." Returning to New York in 1929, she spent the next 10 years determined to present New York in the same light, with stunning photos of curiosities, New York architectural details, old tenements, elevated structures, costly skyscrapers, gritty street life, pushcarts, barber shops, and remote alleys in Greenwich Village. With support from the Federal Art Project, Abbott together with a staff of more than a dozen including darkroom printers, field assistants, researchers, and clerks, produced this work in advance of the 1939 World's Fair in Flushing Meadow, NY, with captions written by her life partner and art critic, Elizabeth McCausland (1899-1965).
