Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper and Row 1972, 1972. First edition, hardcover. 42 large colour plates taken in Paris. Inscribed to his friend John G. Morris: "16th August '73. For John, Good Luck with your day dreams! Dave". This book is the result of Duncan's experimentation with the use of prisms and other lens effects to achieve "a new camera idiom". The result is a striking set of images. Contents good, dust jacket with some damage and discolouration. David Douglas Duncan This book was a major departure for Duncan. He is best known as one of the foremost photojournalists of the twentieth century and amongst its finest recorders of war, "Prismatics" shows Duncan breaking down and distorting the image, using the camera, not as "a direct conduit between what I saw and what I recorded" but as a way of creating, from clichéd views of Paris, a "new world". He is defamiliarising the familiar. John G. Morris (born in 1916) is probably the most celebrated living photo-editor. He worked with many of the finest photographers - Robert Capa, Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith. As the London Picture Editor of "Life" during WWII, he was responsible for editing and publishing Capa's coverage of D-Day. Later, Morris became the Picture Editor of "Ladies Home Journal", Executive Editor of Magnum Photos, and Picture Editor of The New York Times. He still tours the world lecturing about photo-journalism "If it [a photo] has a message, the message has to come through... But, it should evoke something from the heart. It should pull at you. Not only should it inform you, it should hook you".

Sobre Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
