""A commission to illustrate the 1884 edition of Edward FitzGerald's Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám established his fame at home and abroad. His illustrations, intricately linked to the verses (which he rearranged to suit his vision of the book) were a popular success and exhibited widely. He converted a number of the illustrations, such as 'The Cup of Love,' into full-scale paintings… Vedder was one of the most popular artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At his death, the Nation placed him in the 'highest ranks' of American painters"" (ANB).

A near-fine copy with some light wear to binding at extremities, internally fine
Description
New York: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1901. A near-fine copy with some light wear to binding at extremities, internally fine. 4to. 191 pages. Original green cloth, gilt-lettered on front cover and spine. First edition. From the collection of NYC gallerist Marjorie Neikrug. A landmark at its time of publication, Caffin's book is still one of the most informative and authoritative appraisals of the American photographers who later became the Photo Secession. Singling out Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Gertrude Kasebier and Clarence H. White, Caffin was writing as an insider, with intimate knowledge of the artists that adds life and vitality to his critical appreciation of their work. Born in England, Caffin emigrated to the U.S. in 1892. He became the American editor of 'The Studio' and his articles on art and photography were widely published in journals and magazines. He first became acquainted with some of the photographers he studies in this book when he wrote criticism of the Philadelphia Salon of 1898, an important exhibition for which Stieglitz and two Philadelphia painters served as judges. Clarence H. White exhibited for the first time in this show.
