Weegee’s Naked City.

Low-priced Edition. Weegee's best work. A small paperback edition with photo cover and 96 pages of photo’s updated from the first edition of 1945.Fellig is one of the centuries most eccentric artists, famously he would appear at crime scenes before the police. He achieved this by the simple device of spending night after night in the tougher sections of New York listening to the radio traffic on a police radio he had at some time “liberated”. Famous as a sensationalist in his day, time has treated him more kindly and the hard eye with which he shaped his pictures gave them qualities like no others.

8vo. Original printed wrappers. Some rubbing and small amount of loss to foot of spine.
