Exhibited
Most of the photogravures in this lot were exhibited in The Photo Secession, September - November 1948. Organized by Steichen, it consisted solely of plates from Camera Work and Camera Notes. As Steichen pointed out in the exhibition's press release, this was the first show devoted to the Photo Secession since the Albright Art Gallery exhibition in Buffalo in 1910.
