Description
 
The surviving photographs printed by Edward Steichen during the turn-of-the-century years are works of unparalleled richness in the history of the medium.

These transcendent compositions on paper present sumptuous surfaces and subtle color tones and shadings that confound the usual preconceptions of what a photograph looks like.

Steichen produced these masterworks through a variety of enormously time-consuming printing techniques, some of them now almost forgotten.

These early original prints are few in number -- less than one hundred -- and a significant portion of images exist only in a unique print.In this volume, seventy-three of the early photographs are meticulously reproduced to re-create as precisely as possible the look and the effect of Steichen's own master prints.

This book charts a critical appreciation of these works and appraises their meaning for the history of photography, considering them in the context of the collaboration between Steichen and Alfred Stieflitz that changed the direction of modern art in America.
