Eight eminent American photographers (Lewis Baltz, Joe Cameron, Robert Cumming, Roy DeCarava, Lee Friedlander, John Gossage, Jan Groover, and Hernandez) were commissioned by The Corcoran Gallery of Art to "spend extended periods in Washington D.C. during 1975-76 to photograph the city, its environs and people, as each was guided by his own vision". The resulting exhibitions ultimately produced eight individual catalogues sampling each artist's photographs. A most handsome example of this exceedingly uncommon item additionally SIGNED "Anthony Hernandez" in black ink on the title page. LC 76-19243 Inventory Number: 024228
