Small folio, 17, 33pages. First Edition. Inscribed by Vishniac's father, Solomon.With an introductory essay by Abraham Joshua Heschel.

Roman Vishniac's father, Solomon Vishniac, inscribed his son's book to a friend, in the old Russian language of tsarist's times (whereas, Roman Vishniac's Russian was quite modern...So, not signed by Vishniac, but by his father. Confirmed attribution." Very Good Condition in Good Jacket with damaged spine and spine label on jacket only (EE-3-20) xx
