Gypsies

(Millerton, NY). (Aperture, Inc.). (1975). 4to. 1st edition. Spine slightly leaning, with some bumping to corners. Very faint spot of discoloration to rear board. Some mild toning to leaves. Minor tanning, rubbing, and edgewear to d.j., with some chipping to the corners and spine ends. VG/VG. Czech photographer Josef Koudelka’s photographs are striking distillations of the human drama. Taken in the Gyspy settlements of East Slovakia, the images in this collection offer a raw account of the joy and suffering of an elusive people, and are a testament to Koudelka’s most beloved and impassioned subject. This is a first edition of the seminal work from this prize-winning photographer, including an excellent historical account of the Gypsies by Willie Guy.
