1987810Durham NC: Duke University Press 1987. First edition of the photographer's second major photobook. Quarto original cloth. Signed by Helen Levitt on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Not to be confused with the more common paperback edition. Helen Levitt and the author James Agee first collaborated in 1945 on a documentary film set in Harlem called "In the Street." Psychologist Robert Coles contributed the essays to this volume. Owen Edwards from The New York Times has noted that "in common situations Miss Levitt finds the glint of an often bizarre beauty that most of us-including photographers-do not notice. . . . She brings to her pictures an intensity that can be almost hypnotic." "There is no fundamental difference in the great landscapes and quiet portraits of Edward Weston and the profoundly revealing pictures of children by Helen Levitt. Both are photographic perceptions of the highest order" Ansel Adams. Duke University Press hardcover books

As described in contemporary review in the Missionary Herald "the earlier part of Miss Kendall's journey brings out vividly the life of such unfamiliar regions as French Tonking and the provinces of Yunnan and Szechuan in West China and includes such unusual experiences as a peek into Lolo Land a stop at Tachieniu--gateway to Tibet--and a remarkable sojourn at the monastery of Omei Shan that ancient and mysterious mountain shrine of Buddhist China. The middle part of the journey follows the more usual highways down the Yangtze and north to the Wall but the route becomes adventurous again as it crosses the Gobi Desert and pushes northward through Mongolia to Siberia.
