De Meyer [first edition]

Adolf de Meyer's camera defined the beauty and elegance of the 1920's. He helped to set the taste of an era and, in the course of doing so, established a new genre--fashion photography--that has never to this day ceased to feel his influence. The exquisitely reproduced photographs include advertisements, still lifes and many portraits including Edward VII, Nijinsky, Ruth St. Denis, Anna Pavlova, Gloria Swanson and Charlie Chaplin. 50 pages with 21 photos, some full page, plus 51 full page photographic plates; 10 x 13 inches.
