Edward Weston - 50th Anniversary Portfolio








Edward Weston - 50th Anniversary Portfolio
The entire portfolio is reproduced in facsimile. We have even used a different paper, similar to that which was used in the original portfolio to print Edward’s portfolio text pages.
And as an extra bonus for the book, James L. Enyeart, former Director of the Center for Creative Photography (the repository of the Edward Weston Archive), has written “A Memoir” about the history of CCP’s acquisition of Edward’s entire archive.
The reproductions are of the highest quality—a hallmark of all Lodima Press books.
Book specifications: Hardbound, 40 pages, 12.5 x 12.5 inches.
Printed in 400-line screen quadtone.

Available only for those who pre-subscribe, we are offering a limited, numbered, slipcased edition for $175. SOLD OUT

10 Photographs made from 1929 to 1942
This portfolio contains a series of portraits made of his father, Edward Weston, between 1929 and 1942. As Roger Aikin explains in the Afterword, although it is not generally acknowledged, Brett influenced his father as much as Edward influenced him. Brett always graciously acknowledged his debt to his father. That he would compose a portfolio only of portraits of Edward is a generous mark of his love and respect.
Ansel Adams contributed an Introduction to Portraits of My Father.

Volume 2 in the Portfolios of Brett Weston series
Introduction by Nancy Newhall
Afterword by Roger Aikin
The original White Sands portfolio, produced in 1949, contained twelve photographs and was printed in an edition of fifty. In 1975 Weston printed a second edition of the portfolio in an edition of seventeen. It included eight of the original ten photographs made in the 1940s (negatives from two of the photographs in the original portfolio were damaged and unprintable), two others from the 1940s that had not been included in the first portfolio (Plates 11 and 12), and two from 1975 (Plates 13 and 14), for a total of twelve prints.
White Sands contains the original ten photographs plus the four new pictures from Weston's 1975 edition. The original 1949 title page and the introduction by Nancy Newhall are reproduced in facsimile. Included is an afterword by art historian Roger Aikin. As a bonus, we have included an additional photograph along with a facsimile reproduction of Brett's letter describing the picture as "Edward's favorite." Although it was not included in either of the original portfolios, Brett included it as a gift with the portfolio from which this book has been reproduced.
