Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Philadelphia, J.B. Lippincott Company, 1933. (8.75 x 6 in, 22.5 x 15.3 cm). First edition, 3rd printing, curiously wearing a 2nd printing dust jacket (stated). 31 black and white "aquatone" (photogravure) photographs by Walker Evans made in May and June of 1933. Each plate numbered and titled on the opposing otherwise blank page. From Gilles Mora and John T. Hill's "Walker Evans: The Hungry Eye" (Abrams, 1993, p. 78) "The book, to be called 'The Crime of Cuba', was intended as a violent criticism of the North American capitalist interests that protected a regime of terror established on the island by the dictator Gerardo Machado. / Beals and Evans met only once. The only condition that the photographer insisted upon was the right to select the images to be published and their order of appearance. / Offered hospitality by Ernest Hemingway, Evans reacted with high enthusiasm to the experience of a totally new culture and visual environment. / The thirty-one photographs reproduced give only a limited view of the full reportage. With their human dimension, they counterbalance the strictly economic or historic character of the facts related by the author of the book, Carleton Beals. / In spite of his short stay in Cuba, the pictures contain the best of Walker Evans and constitute a seminal work." Original cloth covered boards with original printed and photographically illustrated dust jacket adhered to the covers and paste-down endpapers (topstain a bit dull, previous price and owner signature dated 1935 in ink on ffep. Internally clean and quite nice (beginning with the 8th photograph plate and through to the rear free endpaper the fore-edge of each page is lightly creased, effecting each full bleed image, but not so much as to distract the eye to a great degree. This issue increases to the last, that measuring 7mm in from the edge and 50mm in length). Original dust jacket compete and presentable (small .5cm circular loss to upper near fore-edge, a few short closed tears, minimal chipping at heel and crown, laminate loss and lifting in areas). Please note: the dust jacket is attached to the book covers and endpapers. [Reference: Roger Kingston, Walker Evans in Print: An Illustrated Bibliography, 1995, No. 5, p. 21.] Despite the lengthy list of faults, a handsome copy with the rather uncommon dust jacket.

First edition; 8vo (218 x 145 mm, 8½ x 5¾ in); black-and-white photographs printed in aquatone, red topstain; red endpapers, black cloth-covered boards, spine and upper board stamped in silver, head bumped, photo-illustrated price-clipped dust-jacket, silver and black, light wear to extremities, lightly soiled, nicked with small chips and light creasing to head and edges, Gas Company leaflet laid in, near-fine in a very good dust-jacket; [ii], 441, [1], [64]pp. These photographs represent the only period Walker Evans spent working as a photographer outside the United States. Carleton Beals wrote The Crime of Cuba out of anger for the political situation in Cuba and disapproval of the way America managed its relations with Latin American countries. He originally wanted his book to be illustrated with news photographs of demonstrations and violence on the streets of Cuba. Literary agent Ernestine Evans (no relation) suggested to Lippincott's art department that instead, they send Walker Evans to Havana, and they agreed. Few of Evans's photographs could be said to show the oppression or poverty Beals writes about; Evans later claimed not to have read the book, apparently treating the project as an entirely commercial venture. However, he himself selected and sequenced the final thirty-one photographs, inserting a few pictures from news agencies to supplement the photography section, a signal of Evans's growing interest in anonymous imagery; he was a regular visitor, with Ben Shahn, to the New York Public Library's picture collection.
