Camp Life : twelve photogravures

Stoddard, Seneca Ray, 1844-1917 · 1895

Includes "12 Photogravure plates with 18 illustrations from photographs of Adirondack scenery...Printed by the N.Y. Photo-Gravure Co., N.Y. This, by far, is Seneca Ray Stoddard's most important book: it contains most of his best examples, and the photogravures are wonderfully printed. It shows that he was more interested in capturing the actual feel of the place and its people than in presenting the standard tourist fare that most other photographers would produce. Few copies of this remarkable book are known, which leads one to believe all of his books were produced in very small editions."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 124
