198721752San Francisco: Photo Metro 1987. Very Good. <br /> A significant West Coast photography periodical featuring a substantial portfolio and interview with Aaron Siskind a foundational figure in the development of abstract photography.<br /> <br /> Published during a high point of Bay Area photographic culture this issue of 'Photo Metro' functions as a hybrid artifact-part exhibition catalogue part trade journal and part cultural chronicle. The expansive Siskind feature includes multiple full-page reproductions of his work bridging the gap between photography and Abstract Expressionism. Surrounded by period-specific advertisements for Nikon and regional galleries the issue serves as a primary source for the professional and aesthetic landscape of the American photography scene in the late 1980s.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Visuals: Multiple full-page black-and-white photographic reproductions by Aaron Siskind; illustrated throughout with additional photographs by contemporary Bay Area artists.<br /> Binding: Original stapled pictorial wraps in a large tabloid format.<br /> Content: Lead feature is a multi-page Aaron Siskind portfolio and interview; includes reports on 'PHOTO WEST 87' SPE conference notes and extensive 1980s-era photographic trade advertisements.<br /> Imprint: San Francisco: Photo Metro February 1987.<br /> Specs: 14.5 x 10.75 inches; 26 pages on newsprint stock.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: Good.<br /> The Periodical: Complete and structurally sound. The newsprint is evenly age-toned as expected for 1980s stock. The wraps show moderate shelf handling with light rubbing.<br /> Specific Flaws: Small edge tears and a minor corner loss at the top of the front wrap not affecting text. The interior remains clean bright and fully legible with the photographic reproductions retaining high contrast.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Aesthetic Evolution: Provides a contemporary 1987 perspective on Siskind's 'Abstract Expressionist' phase which shifted the focus of the camera from the 'subject' to the 'surface.'<br /> Trade Ephemera: The advertisements for legacy equipment Nikon and regional galleries Fraenkel Vision etc. provide a data-rich environment for researchers of the 1980s art market.<br /> Regional History: Documents the 'Photo Metro' era of San Francisco a period characterized by a unique fusion of academic rigor and street-level professional trade. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> Aaron Siskind's importance as a bridge between the documentary tradition of the 'Photo League' and the formalist abstractions of the 'Institute of Design' cannot be overstated. By 1987 Siskind was an elder statesman of the medium. This issue of 'Photo Metro' captures that legacy in a 'real-time' format presenting his work not as distant history but as an active influence on the photographers of the West Coast.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Aaron Siskind Abstract Photography Photo Metro Magazine 1980s Photography San Francisco Art Scene Photographic Ephemera Periodical Photography Portfolio Trade Ephemera.

New York: The Corell Press & The Press at the Classical School Associated: University Place & Ninth Street July-December 1896; January-June 1897. </p><p>Tarkington was quoted as saying about the demise of <i>John-a-Dreams</i>: "The death of that little magazine on the staff of which I was supposed to be was the greatest blow I ever sustained."-<i>The Writer: A Monthly Magazine for Literary Workers </i>1903 vol. 16 p. 29. Includes all Tarkington contributions to this periodical. All published with the exception of two issues vol. I #'s 5-6 of a little magazine founded and edited by Robert T. "Slim" Sloss Tarkington's friend and Princeton classmate class of 1893 although Tarkington didn't graduate due to insufficient credits from enjoying college to much. "Booth Tarkington held the honorary position of staff artist and …contributed steadily to the magazine under the nom-de-plume of "Cecil Woodford." The issue for September 1896 is opened to the famous 'Letter of Regrets Left at Giles's Coffee-House; to be Given by the Waiter to Mr. Richard Rakell Sir Thomas Wilding or Lord Townbrake" a poem in ten quatrains…Perhaps the most ambitious of these <i>John-a Dreams </i>pieces also in the eighteenth-century literary form was the one-act comedy "Kisses for Marjorie." Tradition recounts that one of the drawings for this… inspired him to create another story into which the characters could be fitted. This story was <i>Monsieur Beaucaire.</i>"-<b>An Exhibition of Booth Tarkington's Works in the Treasure Room of the Princeton University Library March-April 1946</b> p. 8. <br /></p><p>There are only five Tarkington contributions to earlier periodicals. Most of those are slim indeed and those from his college days have been described by an early biographer see below as "genteel." His contributions here pre-date his first book <i>The Gentleman from Indiana </i>1900 by three years and <b><i>all are uncollected</i></b>. Here are <i>The Proud Lover </i>signed "Cecil Woodford" August 1896; <i>A Letter of Regrets</i> signed "Cecil Woodford" written and illustrated by Tarkington September 1896; <i>The Kisses of</i> <i>Marjorie</i> and <i>The Stupid People</i> both signed "Cecil Woodford" written and illustrated by Tarkington both December 1896. </p><p><i>The Kisses of Marjorie</i> <i>a Play in One Scene </i>pp. 147-157 is Tarkington's first published play his "first effort as a dramatist since his college days."-<b>Currie.</b> It has three illustrations by the author two of which are inserted plates. Robert Cortes Holliday has a lot of interesting things to say about <i>John-a-Dreams </i>in his<b> Booth Tarkington</b> 1918 pp. 31-37 the text of which is available on-line. He describes the wrappers thusly: "It was aesthetically bound in paper varying with each issue sometimes the kind of paper in which meat is wrapped sometimes in the kind which used to be 'laid' under carpets. Holliday gives a fine synopsis of <i>Kisses for Marjorie</i> a comedy laid in a rose garden in Philadelphia in 1778 involving two Revolutionary War officers seeking Marjorie's affections one a Captain in the Continental Army aide-de-camp to Light Horse Harry Lee the other a Major of His British Majesty's Foot. The play was later presented by The Dramatic Club of Indianapolis February 11 1902 in which Tarkington took part in all four performances; printed in <i>The </i><i>Indianapolis</i><i> Sunday Sentinel</i> March 9 1902; and produced again at The Little Theatre Indianapolis March 18 1916. <br /></p><p> Included is a copy of the <i>Prospectus</i>"Vol. 1 No. 0."
