W. EUGENE SMITH
Japan -- A Chapter of Image. Tokyo: Hitachi, 1963. 4° (326 x 260mm). 144 black and white photographs. Original blue textured boards, spine and front cover gilt-lettered (corners with a touch of wear). Provenance: Smith's signature on title (dated 'Nov 22, 1964').
FIRST EDITION, SIGNED BY SMITH near the time of publication. A fine copy of this bold company book sponsored by Hitachi.
