MEISELAS, Susan

Carnival Strippers [Signed first edition]

New York: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1976. First edition and first printing, signed by Meiselas on the title-page at a later date. 8.75 x 10 inches. 150 pages. Original silver cloth; original fragile printed dust jacket. A very good copy in silver paper covered boards with some light bumping to the top right corners and some faint foxing to the preliminary pages and in an about very good dust jacket with a large chip to the top of the front panel and with some other edge tears and wear. Despite the flaws a solid copy of a book that is very prone to wear and is seldom found in anything approaching fine condition. Item #410302

Meiselas' pioneering first book, a collection of black-and-white photographs documenting Meiselas's three-year travels to strip shows. "Meiselas portrayed the women and men caught up in this world with great sensitivity, balance and respect making 'Carnival Strippers' a remarkably human document" (Roth 238-239).
