Dodd, Mead & Company, New York, c. 1984, ISBN 0-396-08354-4, soft cover, First Edition, 
216 pp., 7.5 x 9 inches, numerous black and white illustrations.

"A unique, entertaining, wide-ranging look at an important but neglected area of 
photography.  Collector and critic Graham King evaluates the snapshot in all its rich 
historical background and aesthetics.  He discusses the snapshot as "found art", the basis
for much of the "high art" of modern gallery photography and shows us how the snapshot
can sometime be superb, though accidentally achieved, photography.  

"We learn how to interpret the snapshot as an artifact of social history that informs 
us of who we are and how we live (and have lived), and how to "read" a snapshot with a 
discerning eye.

"Illustrated with over 200 photographs from the author's private collection and with works 
from modern masters of photography, Say "Cheese"! will delight and fascinate anyone 
interested in the art--and artlessness--of the snapshot."

Predominately American, but also numerous English, snapshots.

In very good condition.
