ill., br. "Un paese", concepito nel 1952 da Cesare Zavattini e da Paul Strand, ha visto la pubblicazione nell'aprile del 1955 per l'editore Einaudi ed è stato tra i primi fotolibri italiani a poter essere ritenuto tale per l'intento progettuale in relazione al testo e alle immagini grazie all'accuratezza della grafica e della realizzazione, oltre che per il valore poetico e descrittivo. È stato considerato, e continua tutt'oggi a esserlo, uno dei classici della storia della fotografia. La critica ha definito "Un paese" un prezioso documento perché ha inaugurato una nuova modalità d'indagine e ricerca, aprendo inediti orizzonti sull'Italia minore del dopoguerra, storie raccontate dalla voce di un figlio di quella terra divenuto ormai celebre scrittore, sceneggiatore e regista di fama internazionale, indagate e descritte dallo sguardo di uno dei maggiori fotografi americani allora viventi. Allo stesso tempo il libro esamina il passato, quello della tradizione contadina, in particolare di Luzzara e della pianura Padana, in stretta relazione con la modernità, creando un dialogo tra passato e presente. Il volume ripropone le immagini di quel lavoro, affiancandole agli scatti di Gianni Berengo Gardin - che insieme a Zavattini realizza "Un paese" vent'anni dopo nel 1976 - Luigi Ghirri, Stephen Shore, Olivo Barbieri fino alla ricerca artistica di Claudio Parmiggiani, a dimostrare come "Un paese" sia stato fonte di ispirazione per diversi autori, fotografi, scrittori e artisti.

Lucky Strike cigarette ad on back cover provides a truly classic and timeless example of a mis-timed advertisement. Consider that the great Wall St. stock market crash of 1929 occurred mere days before this issue hit the newsstands. Beneath the caption "An Ancient Prejudice has been removed" appears a clenched fist labeled as "American Intelligence" breaking a heavy chain. Top left a paranoid miser stacks his gold by candlelight. Top right a wealthy couple visits their palatial bank. Text beneath miser reads "Hoarding gold with the fanatical zeal of the miser has vanished. American Intelligence sponsors thousands of banking institutions to which the individual (i.e. the wealthy couple) safely entrusts his wealth." The message is clear. Readers should put their trust (and money) in the banks, and shun gold. This issue was likely printed just as the Great Crash occurred, causing countless financial institutions to go under - and destroying even more individual fortunes. (The ad goes on to claim that cigarettes have similarly overcome the prejudice against them.) A truly stunning work which deserves to be preserved and reflected upon in this age of limitless fiat currency printing. Average wear with three-inch crease to lower corner of back cover. Suitably framed and mounted, this ad will make a superlative office display for any precious metals executive. Magazine
