Signed; Weegee - Naked City [First edition, with dedication] - 1945

Essential Books, New York, 1945. Buono a molto buono stato. Senza la fodera originale ma con una bellissima copertina fac-simile protetta da una copertura in Mylar.

Weegee's first book. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Firmato e dedicato da Weegee con la sua famosa inchiostro verde sulla pagina del titolo. L'iscrizione recita: "To Jerry Gerard, Weegee 1946" con una X!

Boards and interior: Very good condition, rough textured oatmeal cloth boards with a very minor bump to right bottom. See pic. The spine is in good condition but slightly darkened from shelf exposure. Interior is excellent with no dog-eared pages and virtually no evidence of foxing. Just a very faint yellowing on some pages. The inside binding is tight. On the title page you can see a faint shadow where I think a bookplate might have been removed. Very small pencil doodle on the interior of the rear board. Ends of pages a bit dusty due to sitting on shelves for 80 years. See pics for all this detail.

Illustrated with hundreds of finely printed photogravures by the Polish born news photographer, otherwise know as Arthur Felig. All photo images are immaculate.

Especially rare signed by Weegee.
