WORLDS IN A SMALL ROOM BY IRVING PENN AS AN AMBULANT STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHER
(PENN, IRVING). Penn, Irving. New York: Grossman Publishers - A Division of The Viking Press, 1974. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Very Good/Very Good. 96pp, profusely illustrated in b&w. "Worlds in a Small Room" is Irving Penn's extraordinary collection of his work as "an ambulant studio photographer" originally published by Alexander Liberman in the pages of Vogue. Traveling the globe with a textured backdrop and his trusty Rolleiflex, Penn strikingly documented the portraits and fashions of indigenous cultures ranging from African tribespeople to the hippies and bikers of sixties San Francisco. A handsome example of the 1974 first hardbound edition showing some light sunning and soiling to the cloth covers along with some soiling to the foredge of the textblock. It has been priced accordingly. 0-670-79025-7 Inventory Number: 026074
