Light Wear But Spine Browned And With Tears At Corners. With The Original Slipcase, Well Worn At Edges. Inscribed By Ramiel Mcgehee To Photographer Sonya Noskowiak "To Sonya In Remembrance Of A Most Important Event! In Gratitude Ramiel Mcgehee May 25Th 1936". Mcgehee Provided Research And Revisions For Danz's 1941 Book. Noskowiak (- 1975) Was An American Photographer And Member Of The Famous San Francisco Photography Collective Group F/64 That Included Ansel Adams And Edward Weston. While In San Francisco She Began Working For Photographer Johan Hagemeyer, And He Taught Her The Basics Of The Trade. Through Hagemeyer She Met Edward Weston, And From 1929 To 1935 She Lived With Him As A Lover, Student, Model, Printer Of His Commercial Photographs And Surrogate Mother To His Children. While With Weston She Developed A Strong Vision Of Her Own, And She Quickly Became Known For Her Portraits And Artistic Images. In 1932 Noskowiak Became An Organizing Member Of The Short-Lived Group F/64, Which Included Such Important Photographers As Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, Willard Van Dyke, Weston And His Son Brett. Members Of F/64 Believed That Photography Was An Art Form In Itself, And So Photography Did Not Need To Follow The Norms Of The Fine Arts In Order To Be Defined As Art. Noskowiak's Works Were Shown At Group F/64'S Inaugural Exhibition At San Francisco's M. H. De Young Museum; She Had Nine Photographs In The Exhibit - The Same Number As Weston.She Continued Taking And Selling Photographs Through The 1950'S. Her Archives, Including 494 Prints, Hundreds Of Negatives And Many Letters To Edward Weston, Are Now Housed At The Center For Creative Photography In Tucson, Arizona. (Source: Wikipedia).
