Eye Love You

4to. First edition. Laminated pictorial boards with cloth spine. No dust jacket as issued. Unpaginated. Some foxing to endpapers; binding very slightly cocked; spine sunned. A very good copy. *** A first printing printing of Ed van der Elsken’s seminal photo book. A photographic journey through the mid-1970’s: part photo journalism, part travel, part art photography. Van der Elsken has a great eye for humanity in all her different forms. The book is about love and happiness as well as about deep grief, political unrest, poverty and injustice. Van der Elsken’s short captions are in Dutch, but the photos speak for themselves.
