WENDT, Lionel — Ceylon.
London, Lincolns-Prager Publishers Limited, 1950. 27 x 20 cm. Cloth (without dust jacket). 256 p. With 120 photos. Biographical introduction by L.C. Van Geyzel, technical introduction by Bernard G. Thornley. 1st edition. Spine somewhat dull. Small dent in the paper at the top of the spine. Used (or at least admired) but intact and unmarked. Classic photobook, *the* book by the great photographer Lionel Wendt (1900-1944). Famous for his depiction of male and female beauty and characterful landscapes, but he also had a preference for surrealist photos. Wendt was one of the first to consciously apply solarization. Both introductions were written by friends and are full of loving details.
