As New/As New. 400 + 23pp, profusely illustrated in duotone. Concept and Design by Lelia Wanick Salgado. "More than those of any other living photographer, Sebastiao Salgado's images of the world's poor stand in tribute to the human condition. His transforming photographs bestow dignity on the most isolated and neglected, from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America. "Workers" is a global epic that transcends mere imagery to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working women and men. The book is an archaeological exploration of the activities that have defined labor from the Stone Age through the Industrial Age, to the present. An elegy for the passing of traditional methods of labor and production, "Workers" delivers a message of endurance and hope". A brand new, pristine example of the eighth printing of the hardbound Aperture edition of the famed Magnum photojournalist's humanist images of the plight of labor around the world (cited on page 256 of Fred Ritchin and Carole Naggar's "Magnum Photobook: A Catalogue Raisonné") additionally BOLDLY SIGNED "Sebastiao Salgado" in black marker on the half title page complete with the publisher's caption booklet in the rear pocket, as issued. 0-89381-525-X Inventory Number: 024871
