"The prints are hard to define, impossible to reproduce exactly. Reproduction are a printer's interpretation. Each print, even when printed from the same negative, could say something different when Stieglitz printed it and mounted it. As he developed negatives and prints, I began to learn about a print – to choose the best prints from among the others." (O'Keefe). Contains list of dates the photographs were taken and credits for loans other than from O'Keefe at rear. Fine condition. Item #51579
