Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over grey cloth with black lettering on spine. Pictorial title page.

New York: A Community Press Publication, Horizon Press, , 1965. Inscribed copy of his best-regarded work First edition, first impression, inscribed by the photographer on the title page, "To Dennis. Dave Heath 2005", of one of the modern photobook classics. "Few have attempted such a programmatic exploration of the psychology of emotion and the human psyche" (Parr & Badger). "In creating [this] book, Heath, who died in 2016, used then unconventional darkroom methods he had learned from Life magazine photographers including W Eugene Smith.

When A Dialogue with Solitude first appeared, fellow photographer Robert… Read More
