(BERRY, BURTON YOST) Berry, Burton Yost. Calbe, GERMANY: Grafisches Centrum Cuno GmbH & Co., 1972 (2020). First Edition Thus 1/500. 9 x 12", 78 pages, profusely illustrated in b&w.. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Fashion Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine.

Privately published by the photographer in Switzerland in a limited edition of three hundred copies, the photo book "Teenage Styles and Trends 1967-71: A Retrospect" by American diplomat and art collector Burton Yost Berry (1901-1985) drew little attention back in 1972. Fifty years later though, it is a sought-after icon of early street photography - rare and expensive - not at least due to its being featured in Martin Parr’s and Gerry Badger’s "The Photobook: A History, Volume III". In 2020, Grafisches Centrum Cuno in Calbe, Germany digitized the original book, retouched it with an eye for detail, and printed it using latest Ultra HD technology.. This non-family authorized reprint easily surpassed the original of 1972 in terms of its printing quality,and made this overlooked gem available again. The English text remains untouched except for corrections of some smaller typos. The book was printed in a limited edition of five hundred copies with its dust jacket having a poster printed on the inside. A brand new, most handsome example of the now-unavailable 2020 re-publication (whose first edition is cited on page 80 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume III") of this quirky, highly sought-after rarity.
