News Pictures By Jack Price 1937 Vintage Freelance Photographer Associated Press

Description: News Pictures by legendary freelance photographer Jack Price is an extremely rare book published in 1937. The book has three sections of inserts, printed on glossy paper and each section has dozens of photos. The book is an excellent condition. There is no dust jacket, and I am unsure if it came with one, although I assume it did. The cover shows some minor wearing and a few faint blemishes. There’s a bit of rubbing and signs of compression along edges and corners, but otherwise this book is an excellent shape. The binding is tight and all pages are firmly in place that shows some age discoloration but nothing that even remotely affects the readability. The age discoloration on the photo pages is far less noticeable and the images are deep and contrast beautifully against the paper. Please carefully review the photos with this listing to visually inspect product prior to purchase. About the author (from Time Magazine): “John Jay Price is a name unfamiliar to metropolitan news editors. But say “Jack Price” to an editor and his face will light up. He knows Jack Price as one of the most famed news photographers in the East, for 15 years ace of the late great New York World. Since 1927 Jack Price has prospered as a free lance, now occupies a neat studio in a midtown Manhattan skyscraper. There last week, about to pop with excitement, he pored over galley proofs of a book he has written, to be published next month. It is called Be A News Photographer* The book is based on Author Price’s theory that, with the new types of compact, lightweight, high-speed cameras, every reporter may now be his own photographer. And should be. The old World once issued handy cameras to all its newshawks (who soon lost them). So did the Journal. The practice is now coming back on the Gannett chain papers (notably in Albany and Elmira, N. Y.). whose editors are still searching for an “ideal foolproof camera.” Full article: https://time.com/archive/6890929/the-press-be-a-news-photographer/
