Very good plus.
Description
[Binghamton, NY]: n.p., 1959. Very good plus.. Original and unusually unified photograph album detailing the birth and early life of a midcentury house outside Binghamton, New York. From an empty lot to its first Christmas, this is the story of the construction of the home of the Dwyers. Here is Kopyar's well-digging truck, struggling to make it up the hilly landscape; here is Hank - Mrs. Dwyer - reaching into the hole that would later become the cellar, and here is Dick among the rafters that would later become the attic. Here are two pictures, taken only a month apart, of Dick in a bathtub, the first in a bare-bones bathroom where he sports sunglasses and a full outfit, the second nude and scrubbing down among tile and a sparkly shower curtain. This warmly vernacular album of moments in the construction of a home is unusual in its cohesiveness. It paints an intimate picture of the exuberance of mid-century America, and of the relationship of this young couple just beginning their life together. 6.75'' x 8.5''. Oblong red commercial string-tied album with gilt accents. 28 black leaves containing 105 black-and-white gelatin silver photographs corner-mounted recto and verso, and first 15 leaves captioned in white. Boards with light edgewear, scuff to rear; one of the metal "eyes" of string structure pulled out of board to rear, but secure on the string. Four photos apparently perished. Several corners degraded or lacking; six photos loose.
