Brigman, Anne Wadrope (1869-1950).
Songs of a Pagan. Caldwell, ID: The Caxton Printers, 1949.

4to. (Marking in ink on p. 67.) Original beige cloth (minor soiling, dampstaining); dust jacket (creases, wear and some losses along extremities, dampstaining).

FIRST EDITION. Anne Brigman was an American photographer active in California throughout the 1900s-1920s. After making the acquaintance of Alfred Stieglitz in 1902 she became a member of his Photo-Secession movement; a significant acknowledgment of her talent on Stieglitz's part given her distance from the movement's epicenter in New York City. Songs of a Pagan was her first collected work and was originally slated to be published in 1941, however the outbreak of World War II led to its being delayed.

[With]: A pair of issues of Camera Craft featuring images by Brigman, comprising: Vol XV, nos. 3 and 6. San Francisco: Bolte & Braden Co., March, June 1908. (Losses to concluding leaves of March issue.) Original printed wraps (minor rubbing).

From the Collection of Jay N. Guerber
