1995 - ANSEL ADAMS THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE PHOTOGRAPHS FIRST EDITION

Published by Artabras, New York 1995

Printed and bound in Italy

“ In 1941 Ansel Adams was hired by the United States Department of the Interior to photograph America's national parks for a series of murals that would celebrate the country's natural heritage. Because of the escalation of World War II, the project was suspended after less than a year, but not before Adams had produced this group of breathtaking images, which illustrate both his early innovations and the shape of his later, legendary career as America's foremost landscape photographer. In these glorious, seminal images we see the inspired reverence for the wilderness that has made Ansel Adams's work a most enduring influence on the intertwining spirits of art and environmentalism, both so necessary for the preservation of our natural world.” - Publisher
