Message from the Interior
In 1966, Message from the Interior set a new standard for photographic reproduction and presentation. The twelve large sheet-fed gravure images, in their resplendent velvet-black ink, are a historical testament to the genius of American's greatest photographer. The profound afterword by John Szarkowski is a milestone of appreciation for Evans's work. This first edition is a must for any serious collector of rare photographic books.

About the author
Walker Evans
110 books52 followersWalker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression. Much of Evans's work from the FSA period uses the large-format, 8x10-inch camera. He said that his goal as a photographer was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent".
Many of his works are in the permanent collections of museums and have been the subject of retrospectives at such institutions as The Metropolitan Museum of Art or George Eastman House.
In 2000, Evans was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame
