"Clara Sipprell (1885-1975) was one of America's foremost pictorial photgraphers. From her early years as a portraitist in Buffalo to the end of her seventy-year career, Sipprell remained faithful to pictorialist principles, creating beautiful, softly focused photographs of naturally lit subjects."--the publisher. This is the first published collection of Sipprell's work. A nicely produced monograph, accompanied by a well-researched essay by Mary Kennedy McCabe.
