Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 250 pages. Published in 2008. Retrospective collection of snapshot-photographs. One of the most evocatively beautiful photography books of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Michael Williams and Richard Cahan: Oversize-volume format. Black cloth boards with white titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by anonymous contributors. The beauty of the collection lies in the fact that almost all of the photographers are unknown. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents "Who We Were: A Snapshot History of America". Gripping, "spot-on", touching vernacular photographs by amateur photographers. "Since the first snapshots were taken in 1888, Americans have used simple, inexpensive cameras to record their life-stories. In the process, they have left behind hundreds of millions of snapshots that document the story of America. For the first time, the best of these personal photographs have been gathered together to tell the nation's history. Forms the first people's photo-history of America: The Wright Brothers, the World Wars, Woodstock. They are all here, creating a crazy quilt of steamships and biplanes, migrants and flappers, seal clubbers and suffragettes. This is who we were and who we are" (Publisher's blurb). The collection draws to a close at the near-century mark, in 1972, with one of the greatest photographs ever taken in the medium's history: A snapshot that Apollo 16 astronaut Charles M. Duke took of his family's vintage snapshot, which he "placed" on the moon's surface, as if to signify that, through him, his family also made it on the moon. A simple yet inspired gesture, the image evokes, once again, photography's singular magic and mystique. The authors are right to exclude the digital cellphone camera altogether because the "selfie" (and ALL other digital-camera variants that emanate from it) is another story. It is nothing less (and nothing more) than a different way of photographic seeing: About oneself in relation to oneself and to others, though not necessarily other Americans, history, or the nation. An absolute "must-have" title for photography book collectors. This title is a contemporary photography book classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws because they have been pored over. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. 370 plates. Some of the most beautiful photographs of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 097854501X. no.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. First Edition. Essays discussing moderate Socialism and its foes, including Fascists and Communists, published in the wake of the February 16 riots at Madison Square Garden, in which American Socialists, protesting Dollfuss's Fascist massacre of some thousand Austrian Socialists, were attacked by Communists. Cahan warns of the hoax of the 'United Front': "The strings were pulled in Moscow; the puppets jumped in Madison Square Garden." Cahan, a Lithuanian Jew who emigrated to the United States in 1882, is best-remembered for his semi-autobiographical novel, The Rise of David Levinsky, but was an influential journalist, active from his arrival here in promoting moderate Socialism and supporting Jewish immigrants. Other authors are Harry Rogoff, Walter Field, August "Gus" Tyler, Y. Z., Simeon Strunsky, George Tucker. Size: 6" by 9".…

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. No Jacket. In Yiddish. (2), XI, (1), 357, (2) pages. 242 x 170 mm. Yivo Encyclopedia of the Jews of Eastern Europe: Yehuda Leib Cahan (Judah)(1881 Vilna, Lithuania - 1937 New York City) was a Yiddish folklorist. He studied in heder and later learned watchmaking. At a young age he began to collect and notate Yiddish songs. In 1889 Cahan moved to Warsaw, where he frequently attended Saturday night folksong recitals at the home of writer I. L. Peretz. Peretz, who encouraged him in his interest in gathering folk songs. In 1901 he moved to London, where he founded the Zionist labor union Forverts (Forward), gave speeches for proletarian Zionist groups, and continued to collect songs. In 1904 he moved to New York, and continued collecting folklore among the Yiddish-speaking Jews of New York. His first research paper on the Yiddish folk song was published in the compilation Literatur in 1910. In 1912 his two volumes of Yidishe folkslider mit melodyen (Yiddish Folk Songs with Melodies) were issued by the International Library, New York-Warsaw. These constituted the first major collection of Yiddish folk songs with melodies. He published another collection in the Pinkes, New York (1927-1928). He also founded the Yiddish publishing house Naye-tsayt (New Time), which issued Yiddish literary works as well as Yiddish translations of world literature. When the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research was founded in Vilna in 1925, Cahan organized the American branch, serving initially as its treasurer, then chairman; he was also selected to be the head of the Folklore Committee. In 1930 he was invited by YIVO to conduct a seminar for folklore collectors in Vilna and inspired a group of new collectors and scholars to engage in the fieldwork and study of Yiddish folklore. Later he went to the Burgenland region of Austria to collect local dialect and folklore materials. Cahan edited the fifth volume of YIVO's Filologishe shriftn (Philological Studies) devoted to Yiddish folklore, which appeared posthumously in 1938, dedicated to his memory. After Cahan's death YIVO prepared to issue all of his works in six volumes (three volumes of folk songs, one of folktales, one of parallels and notes, and one of theoretical studies). Only one volume, of folktales, appeared in 1940. The materials for the other volumes were destroyed in World War II, save for the materials on theoretical studies that were kept in New York. In 1952 YIVO published a volume of Cahan's theoretical studies on folklore, Shtudyes vegn yidisher folksshafung (Studies on Yiddish Folklore), consisting of articles, reviews, correspondence, notes, and bibliographies. Five years later YIVO published 560 folk songs (Yidishe folkslider mit melodyes [Yiddish Folk Songs with Melodies]) from the four collections of Cahan's folk songs. Both volumes were edited by Max Weinreich. Cahan maintained rigid qualifications of what he deemed the authentic folk song, based on form, vocabulary, rhyme, dialect, and the integrity of the informant. He was concerned with the interdependence of the folklore of different people, the dissemination, age, and folklorization of songs. He analyzed coterritorial variants and found survivals of old love songs preserved in children's songs. Contemporary, workers' songs, songs of the badkhn (wedding entertainer), and religious and holiday songs he found inadmissible as authentic folk songs. He believed that folklore emanated primarily from the lower social classes, but later conceded that the higher classes were also creators and transmitters of Yiddish folklore.…
