Simon and Schuster, New York, 1960. 183 pp. First edition. Small folio. Hardcover. Clothbound in the dust jacket. Photo illustrated laminated cardboard slipcase. Numerous gravure and color reproductions. For this masterpiece of printing, Penn spent a month in Lucerne, Switzerland overseeing the process at C.J. Bucher, who had produced Avedon’s Observations the previous year. Each of the eight sections in this seminal monograph "have in common the photographer's deftly understated portraits, printed here in the subtlest gravure," says Vince Aletti in The Book of 101 Books. "Penn reinvented the classic daylight studio portrait for a more casual time," he goes on to say, "undercutting its formality but heightening its potential as a revealing performance."
