Delivered on the 8th Bromsen Lecture, May 3, 1980, Boston. (Maury А. Bromsen Lecture in Humanistic Bibliography, No. 8) — Boston Public Library, 1984. — 60 p."Beaumont Newhall is justly regarded as the preeminent photographic historian of our time and has been one of the most influential personalities in modern photography." This summation introduces the volume of Essays in his honor, 1975, to which many of the world's leading authorities contributed.I am indeed happy to have been invited to come back to my native soil to talk about Photography and the Book. I certainly welcome the inclusion of photography in this series of lectures on humanistic bibliography. And I am particularly pleased that the Boston Public Library offered the invitation, because this is certainly one of the most distinguished libraries in this country, a library that those of us in the scholarly world have found extremely useful.
