96 pp. Profusely illustrated with photographs by Weegee, Halsmann, et. al. (4to), original pictorial wrappers. First Edition. Though most often remembered as director of the 1971 classic film Shaft, Gordon Parks (1912-2006) was something of a renaissance man - photographer, musical composer, poet and novelist. This was his first book, written while working as a freelance fashion photographer for Vogue magazine. The Grosset & Dunlap reprint is sometimes mistakenly identified as the first appearance, but this is the First Edition of the first photography manual written by an African American.
