Larry Len Peterson

L.A. Huffman: Photographer of the American West

      Ltd to 2,000 copies. Gilt-stamped oblong 4to cloth. 296pp. Index. One of the most sumptuously illustrated photo-art books published in the last few years, certainly in the field of the American West. This tremendous book on the frontier photography of Montana's L. A. Huffman is not only the first substantial book published on him since the 1950s, but it is difficult to imagine that any book can ever surpass this one on the subject. Authoritative text by Peterson accompanies images taken for the most part from original Huffman plates belonging to a superb private collection. Copiously illustrated are also related books, ephemera, etc. of Huffman's work, or items Huffman contributed to. All 2,000 copies were sold rapidly & this clothbound edition is out of print. Fine, as new in dj. [Publisher: Settlers West Galleries]
