Photography Monograph. Fine.. np (22pp), 15 b&w illustrations. With an exhibition checklist, bibliography, biography and exhibition history. This is the slender catalogue issued in conjunction with Lee Friedlander's participation as part of the 1976 Bicentennial project "The Nation's Capital in Photographs". Eight eminent American photographers (Lewis Baltz, Joe Cameron, Robert Cumming, Roy DeCarava, John Gossage, Jan Groover, Anthony Hernandez, and Friedlander) were commissioned by The Corcoran Gallery of Art to "spend extended periods in Washington D.C. during 1975-76 to photograph the city, its environs and people, as each was guided by his own vision". The resulting exhibitions ultimately produced eight individual catalogues sampling each artist's photographs. A most handsome example (cited on page 48 of "From Fair to Fine 2" and page 231 of "From Fair to Fine 3") of this uncommon item. LC 76-39644 Inventory Number: 023203
