custom folder. Condition: Very Good. First edition. A LONG LETTER TO A FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHER WITH REVEALING TECHNICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS. Written by Adams to fellow photographer Nicholas Dean, this letter engages many topics: first listing off a variety of impressive engagements and exhibits the two were involved with at the time, then settling finally on a detailed section on photographic techniques and tips. Adams explains first that he was arranging the logistics of a film about his life with art curator Beaumont (Newhall) which had been officially released the year before (1958). Then Adams goes on to congratulate Dean for his recent exhibition - a collection of photographs of the Boston Symphony Orchestra - and makes reference to an article called "Swell Egg" written in The New Yorker in October 1953 about the important American landscape photographer Paul Caponigro. Even in the first sentences, it becomes clear how well-ensconced Adams was in the photography world, how up-to-date he was with new developments and exhibits, for "photography was his calling, his métier, his raison d'être." ( Britannica ). Yet, what Adams seems most particularly interested in in this letter, however, is the light meter. These analog devices were used by photographers to 'read' the light in a situation, and then transfer the exposure information to a camera. Here, Adams makes reference specifically to the Weston meter - the most popular instrument of use by professionals at the time. In a marvelous moment of self-reference, the photographer uses the term "Zone VI value," while trying to explain to Dean how non-Weston meters misrepresent optimal "brightnesses." These "zone values" (numbered 0-X) were, in fact, formulated by Adams and Fred Archer, another celebrated American photographer, as part of the Zone System, a photographic technique for determining optimal film exposure and development. Based on a meticulous study of sensitometry (scholarship around which reached as far back as the 19th century) and written up extensively by Adams in one of his ten manuals (The Negative), the Zone System allowed for photographers to define a relationship between the way they visualized the photographic subject and the final results. This invention became so widely-used that starting in 1966, the scale was printed directly onto the Weston light meters. Adam's counsel to Dean, moreover, extended beyond the pre-photographic moment of light measurement. At the top of the letter are a series of instructions on how to develop photos - what developer to use, how long to sit in the water, at what angle to place the photograph in the tray. What this letter brings clearly to the fore, then, is Adam's "technical mastery [.] More than any creative photographer, before or since, he reveled in the theory and practice of the medium." ( The Ansel Adams Gallery ). The letter, typed on one 8.5x11 inch sheet of Adams's stationery with "ANSEL ADAMS" printed in red in large type at the top and his San Francisco address below it to the right, is dated December 7 '59 and reads in full: Dear Nick - - Good to get your two letters. This is just a rush reply because they are working out that Television movie with me (Beaumont is here) and things are hectic! Your picture which I returned was excellent ! Cheers for Symp. Hall exhibit! Camponiegro [sic] swell egg - have 3 prints of his for Polaroid collection. This "reading-in" business - Brrrrrrr!! You are still a bit haywire with the Meter business !!! The Weston is a pretty accurate device to read brightness in c/ft2. Pointing the meter down is merely a crutch and would help only with dark-gray pavement or grass. The fact that other meters give accurate readings when the Weston gives 1/2 optimum reading merely shows that those other meters are calibrated to overcome the statistical "average" brightnesses. However - read a single gray (or white, or dark) surface with those other meters and you will get near Zone VI value. The question is merely this - do you w.

Pas de couverture. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. Lettre autographe signée à Charlotte [?]. 3 pp. in-12 (160 x 110 mm) à l'encre sur papier crème. "Boulogne, le 30 juin 90. Ma chère Camille, nous regrettins vivement que votre arrivée ait été retardée, puisque nous n'aurons pas le plaisir de vous revoir ici avant notre départ. Je suis obligé de rentrer à Paris, pour bien des raisons et aussi pour mettre fin à plus de six semaines de vacances fort irrégulières. Nous partons mercredi matin par le train de 2h15, laissant l'appartement remis en ordre, les armoires closes, la maison fermée et les clés confiées à Mme Tuillier - ou Thuillier - car j'ignore l'orthographe de son nom. Les personnes dont nous vous annoncions la visite pour la location ne sont pas venues, ni aucun autre. Il fait d'ailleurs très mauvais temps ici depuis quelques jours, du vent, de la pluie et d'immenses brouillards qui enveloppent la mer et les côtes. On attend sans doute juillet et août qui n'auront pas de peine à valoir mieux que Mai et Juin. En somme, si mon excursion ne m'a pas complètement débarrassé de ma toux, elle ne l'a pas augmenté. Les abominables chaleurs qui nous attendent à Paris, cet été, la feront peut-être disparaître, au profit de quelque autre mal très probablement. Peut-être, ma chère amie, ne serez-vous pas encore partis quand nous rentrerons. Vouos feriez bien d'attendre un peu, car le temps n'est pas beau. Nous plus affectueuses amitiés à tous trois et à vous de c ur. Leconte de Lisle.". Signé par l'auteur.

Je vous remercie mille et mille fois. A bientôt, n est-ce pas Votre Paul Adam [10 octobre 1916] 1 page in-4 pliée en quatre. Cher ami, Je ne saurais vous féliciter avec trop d enthousiasme pour l article de la Dépêche de Toulouse sur la période possible de grandes guerres. Oui, la chose me semble à redouter aussi. Nietzsche fut peut-être bon prophète. Il fallait le dire. Et comme vous l avez dit ! Merci pour votre pensée. Paul Adam 10 oct. 1916 [1] Paul Auguste Marie Adam est né le 6 décembre 1862 à Paris où il est mort le 2 janvier 1920 ; écrivain français et critique d'art. Issu d'une famille d'industriels et de militaires originaires de l'Artois, fils d'un directeur des Postes sous le Second Empire, Paul Adam fait ses études secondaires au lycée Henri-IV à Paris avant de se lancer dans la carrière littéraire dès 1884. Il collabore à La Revue indépendante avant de publier en Belgique son premier roman, Chair molle (1885), qui est accusé d'immoralité, provoque le scandale et vaut au jeune auteur une condamnation à quinze jours de prison avec sursis et une lourde amende. Délaissant le naturalisme, Paul Adam se tourne vers le symbolisme. Il contribue à diverses revues liées à ce mouvement, anime Le Symboliste et La Vogue et fonde avec Paul Ajalbert Le Carcan. En 1886, il collabore avec Jean Moréas dans Le Thé chez Miranda et Les Demoiselles Goubert et publie un roman intimiste, Soi. Sa notoriété est établie avec le roman Être (1888). En 1892, il prononce son célèbre Éloge de Ravachol : « De tous les actes de Ravachol, il en est un plus symbolique peut-être de lui-même. En ouvrant la sépulture de cette vieille et en allant chercher à tâtons sur les mains gluantes du cadavre le bijou capable d'épargner la faim, pour des mois, à une famille de misérables, il démontra la honte d'une société qui pare somptueusement ses charognes, alors que, pour une année seule, 91 000 individus meurent d'inanition entre les frontières du riche pays de France, sans que nul y pense, hormis lui et nous. » En 1906, dans Vues d'Amérique, Paul Adam synthétise son approche de l'art : « L'art est l' uvre d'inscrire un dogme dans un symbole. » Il fut l'un des témoins de Jean Lorrain lors de son duel, à Meudon, avec Marcel Proust le 6 février 1897 (Octave Uzanne fut l autre témoin de Jean Lorrain). Partisan du général Boulanger, il milite dans les mouvements nationalistes et traditionalistes et, pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, il se rend auprès des troupes pour soutenir leur moral et fonde la Ligue intellectuelle de fraternité latine. Parallèlement, il publie de très nombreux ouvrages : essais, romans, nouvelles, récits de voyage, parmi lesquels on peut citer les romans de son cycle napoléonien : La Force (1899), L'Enfant d'Austerlitz(1901), Au soleil de juillet (1903), ainsi que La Ruse (1903) et Stéphanie (1913), curieux plaidoyer en faveur des mariages arrangés par rapport aux mariages d'amour. Écrivain prolifique, Remy de Gourmont disait de lui : « J ai pensé à Balzac M. Paul Adam en sera flatté, j espère en lisant, dans la biographie que l on vient de donner de l auteur de la Ruse, la liste de ses uvres. Il y a en effet quelque chose de balzacien dans la fécondité de ce jeune romancier qui, en dix-sept ans de travail, nous aura.

This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year monthly designations for such an infrequent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 120 pp. + unpaginated photographic plates and ads, including hachure maps of Yosemite Valley and Kings River Canon (canyon), and a fold-out with bi-scale elevations of the same two locales. also, a plate with an illustration of the 14' tall monument, of galvanized iron with a brass base, installed at the top Mount Shasta in 1875 (destroyed by lightning in 1905). Very Good plus, really quite close to near fine; the major flaw being the common one that circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). Early owner's signature at top of contents page. Otherwise, just occasional very small points of cover wear. A very handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others. Six very early Ansel Adams shots headline those, but there are also one or more shots each by Walter L. Huber, Ansel E. Adams, Lee L. Stopple, Charles E. Townsend, J.N. LeConte, Robert L. Lipman, J.E. Haynes, Marion Randall Parsons, Fred Herz, E. L. Macaulay, Bayard H. Jones, C.O. Schneider, and several uncredited shutter artists. SC2.
