This splendidly produced study on artistic photography was originally published in 1917 by József Pécsi (1889-1956), a renown Hungarian photographer, innovator, and educator. In 1930, Pécsi published the influential book "Photo und Publizität" (Photography and publicity) to promote the blending of typography, design, and photography in avant-garde advertising. The publication marked his crossover from the Pictorialist style of his early work to the ascendant international modernism of the interwar period.
"A fényképezö müvészete" (The Art of the Photographer) is illustrated with 12 full-page photogravures, as well as three pages of b/w illustrations.
