Description
DYER, William B. James Whitcomb Riley, Riley Love-Lyrics, Indianapolis: Bowen-Merrill, 1899. Hardcover (gold, black, and white-stamped green cloth), 8 x 5 ½ inches, 192 pages, halftone illustrations.
This is Dyer's most widely-seen and lasting work. Accompanying poems by Riley are over seventy-five of his images, mostly figure studies with borders, vignetting, or other printer's alterations, making them intimate and gemlike. Over the next six years, the book went through a number of editions. William B. Dyer (1860 -1931) was a pictorialist and Chicago professional photographer, specializing in portraits and book illustration. Alfred Stieglitz made him a member of his elite Photo-Secession group and put two of his photogravures (both of female nudes) in a 1907 issue of Camera Work. Spine sunned (as is normal).
