Edited by Cornell Capa. New York, Grossman Publishers / International Fund for Concerned Photography (ICP), 1972. Square in-4, paperback, red printed cover. The second volume of the renowned series *The Concerned Photographer*, conceived by Cornell Capa to celebrate deeply committed photography that places the camera in the service of social consciousness as much as artistic excellence. This volume brings together eight of the greatest humanist and documentary photographers of the second half of the 20th century: Marc Riboud, Roman Vishniac, Bruce Davidson, Gordon Parks, Ernst Haas, Hiroshi Hamaya, Donald McCullin, and W. Eugene Smith. Each is represented by a selection of some of the most iconic photographs from their bodies of work: Marc Riboud’s China; Gordon Parks’s ghettos and civil rights movements; Donald McCullin’s depictions of conflict; Hiroshi Hamaya’s Japan; W. Eugene Smith’s humanistic perspective; and works by Bruce Davidson, Roman Vishniac, and Ernst Haas. Published in cooperation with the International Center of Photography, this volume stands as one of the manifestos of American documentary photography from the 1970s. The series *The Concerned Photographer* is now considered a major reference in the history of photojournalism and humanistic photography. Illustrated with numerous black-and-white reproductions. A good copy despite signs of wear on the cover.
