[PHOTOGRAPHY]. PORTER, Eliot (1901-1990). Certain Passages. New York: Daniel Wolf Press, Inc., [1989]. Large folio. 24 x 20?. 8 full color dry transfer photographic prints signed by Porter,?each on publisher?s mount and in captioned folding paper portfolio. With publisher?s printed folding folio title and contents sheet, hand-numbered in pencil. All housed in publisher?s original cloth clamshell case with red morocco gilt lettering label on front cover.

He was a pioneer in full color dry transfer photography, and his work is highly sought after.
