Limited edition portfolio of nine hand-pulled gravures of images made during 1928 and 1929 (each image size 9 x 6 inches), produced in an edition of 100 hand-numbered copies, in a handmade cloth box. Text pages are letterpress.Includes an introduction by Leslie George Katz and the poem "To Brooklyn Bridge" by Hart Crane. - From the publisher: „In an age where the ,vintage print’ has all but stopped the full realization of important, past photographic works, the Eakins Press Foundation has brought to fulfillment one of the earliest projects of America's most important photographer. The nine photographs of Walker Evans the Brooklyn Bridge have been scrupulously reproduced in hand-gravure by the renowned printer Jon Goodman. With this portfolio, the quality of the final print has at last reached a level worthy of the grandeur of Evans' vision and the timeless symbol of the Brooklyn Bridge.“ Excerpt from the essay by Leslie George Katz from the portfolio: "Each of the nine photographs in this portfolio is an architectural detail reinforcing the integrity of the whole. They dwell with Crane's eloquence in the mind of the viewer to form a kind of prayer. Together, Crane's words and Evans' photographs form a relationship that joins the two mediums in a pure and distinctive metaphor of appreciation that is worthy of both“.
