Beautifully reproduced and cleanly presented, the four hundred images inthis volume represent the finest work of a pre-eminent landscapephotographer. The photographs are arranged chronologically into five majorperiods in order to convey Adams's maturation as an artist - from his firstphotographs in 1916 to his last great photograph in 1968. ANSELADAMS' 400 PHOTOGRAPHS is intended as a must-have gift and reference bookfor anyone who appreciates photography and the allure of the naturalworld.

It is a testamentto Ansel's vision and his prodigious output that a book of this scale canbe justified, and it is a point of pride for Little, Brown to publish acomprehensive overview of the work of Ansel Adams in a singlewell-packaged volume.
