STREETWISE
Mary Ellen Mark

Mary Ellen Mark: STREETWISE. NYC: Aperture, 1988. Original edition. A near-fine oversized softcover book in stiff, printed wrappers (remainder stamp on top page edge). The covers show a bit of wear, as does the tip of the spine. A superior copy of this title that is rarely found in collectible condition. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print.

10 x 11 softcover book with 80 pages and many b/w images of the street children of Seattle. Introduction by John Irving. Text and photographs edited by Nancy Baker. From the film Streetwise by Martin Bell, Mary Ellen Mark, and Cheryl McCall. Considered to be mark's breakthrough book-- quite uncommon.

Mary Ellen Mark received a B.F.A. in art and art history and M.S. in photojournalism at the University of Pennsylvania. A member of Magnum, she is an award-winning photographer, who is dedicated to the profession of photojournalism and social documentation.
