First edition. Octavo. Inscribed by the author, "To Dale Smith. from one GENIUS To ANOTER (sic) Weegee Cleveland 1950". An excellent tight copy in a good second printing jacket that shows some chipping and staining.
Weegee is the pseudonym of criminal photographer Arthur Fellig. The nickname is a phonetic rendering of Ouija, a reference to Fellig's prescient arrivals at scenes only minutes after committed crimes and reported emergencies ("'Unknown Weegee,' on Photographer Who Made the Night Noir," New York Times). The book of photography can be seen as a noirish glance into the urban life of the early Twentieth Century.
