New edition of the 1938 book
The reprint of Robert Capa's famed monograph on the Spanish Civil War, first published in 1938. With images by Capa and Gerda Taro, it was a poignant tribute to the men and women, civilians and soldiers, fighting in Spain against Franco's fascist insurrection, covering the spectrum of emotions of a civil war in only one year of images. Forgotten after the Second World War, it is newly appreciated for its call to arms. The new edition replicates the original layout by André Kertész, Capa's original captions and Jay Allen's preface, improves the image quality, and adds an essay on the making and reception of the book and a checklist identifying author, location and date of each image, revealing among other things unattributed photographs by Chim, later David Seymour.
