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

Essential Books, New York, 1945. Dobry do bardzo dobrego stanu. Bez oryginalnej okładki ochronnej, ale z piękną kopią okładki chronioną folią Mylarową.

Weegee's first book. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed and inscribed by Weegee in his famous GREEN ink on the title page. Inscription reads: "To Jerry Gerard, Weegee 1946" with a 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.
