28 x 22.5 cm. 144 pp. Original cloth. Illustrated in b/w throughout. – Fred Holland Day (1864 -1933) was a wealthy eccentric and philanthropist from Massachusetts. […] Day began to photograph in 1886; and he wrote extensively about photography’s position as a fine art and organized international photography exhibitions to further his claim. He asked: ”And if it chance that [a] picture is beautiful, by what name shall we call it? Shall we say that it is not a work of art, because our vocabulary calls it a photograph?” – Day’s photographs were controversial for their unconventional depiction of religious subject matter and for the male nudity that he employed.
