Worlds in a Small Room 
Author/photo's: Irving Penn
Published by Studio Vista, 1974, First Edition, hardcover with dust jacket, 96 pages.
Condition: dust jacket yellowed, bookedges yellowed, very good condition, no writing or stamps, see photo's.

Beginning in 1948, when he photographed the Peruvian Indians in Cuzco, Penn has traveled the world to compile these 'records of physical' presence.' He has set up his 'ambulant studio' on the edge of the Sahara, among gypsies in Spain, in the highlands of New Guinea, in the mountains of Nepal -- and has invited the inhabitants to step, for a moment, out of their worlds and into a new one....For this remarkable collection of photographs, Penn has provided a text in which he further illuminates the relationship between photographer and subject, and the relationship between photographer and camera."
