(I personally selected these rag print) Sincerely, Builder Levy Aug. 18, 1979." "The photographer's craft, by its very nature, forces him [Builder Levy] to deal with the visible world and with tangible reality. He can use his camera to express the pleasures of place and person; or he may decide to use his art to reveal, to protest and to fight poverty, exploitation and disease. It is in this tradition that Builder Levy photographed in Appalachia. There he participated in the struggle of the mining community against a brutal economic and physical environment." (Walter Rosenblum). Illustrated with twelve full page high quality offset reproductions of b/w photographs depicting Appalachian minors and their environment in the 1970s. Plate seven (Andrew Kosto) present in the complete set and a light gloss duplicate. Very light wear along edges of portfolio and minor age-toning.
