For a decade between 1935 and 1946, Weegee made a name for himself snapping crime scenes, victims, and perpetrators. Armed with a Speed Graphic camera and a police-band radio, Weegee often beat the cops to the story, determined to sell his pictures to the sensation-hungry tabloids. His stark black-and-white photos were often lurid and unsettling. Yet, as this beautifully produced volume shows, they were also brimming with humanity. Designed as a series of dossiers, this book follows Weegee's transformation from a freelancer to a photo-detective. It explores his relationship with the tabloid press and gangster culture and reveals his intimate knowledge of New York's darkest corners. It provides readers with a rich historical experience--a New York City noir shot through the lens of one of its most iconoclastic figures.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49551320744209,"sku":"GOR007095071","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50397600743697,"sku":"CIN3791353136G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3791353136.jpg?v=1750999734"},{"product_id":"blasted-allegories-book-brian-wallis-9780262730860","title":"Blasted Allegories","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49855603474705,"sku":"GOR002975011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50784163102993,"sku":"CIN0262730863VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51688182055185,"sku":"CIN0262730863G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262730863.jpg?v=1762338756"},{"product_id":"ecotopia-2nd-icp-triennial-of-photog-book-brian-wallis-9783865213105","title":"Ecotopia: 2nd Icp Triennial of Photog","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49998960886033,"sku":"CIN3865213103VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50924734710033,"sku":"GOR014126282","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52107752309009,"sku":"CIN3865213103A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53377224671505,"sku":"GOR003883025","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3865213103.jpg?v=1751318020"},{"product_id":"art-after-modernism-book-brian-wallis-9780879236328","title":"Art After Modernism","description":"The waning of the century-old modernist movement in the arts has called forth an array of artistic and critical responses. The 25 essays in this text provide a survey of the most provocative directions taken by art and criticism in the postmodern age. Recent directions in paintings, film, video and photograhy are explored, alongside visual artists' work with mass-media systems and imagery. The dynamics of the social network in which art is produced and disseminated is also examined. This collection should provide a useful guide to the ideas and issues surrounding the much misunderstood concept of postmodernism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50174180688145,"sku":"CIN0879236329G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370754445585,"sku":"CIN0879236329A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50777112281361,"sku":"GOR004857162","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51478539600145,"sku":"GOR002713657","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51742421680401,"sku":"CIN0879236329VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53154991472913,"sku":"GOR005143615","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0879236329.jpg?v=1751108558"},{"product_id":"strangers-1st-icp-triennial-book-brian-wallis-9783882439298","title":"Strangers -1st Icp Triennial","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50405024432401,"sku":"CIN3882439297G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3882439297.jpg?v=1750807058"},{"product_id":"art-after-modernism-rethinking-representation-book-ed-wallis-brian-9780879235642","title":"Art After Modernism: Rethinking Representation","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you've been searching for an all-encompassing source that provides answers on how to live a vibrant, purpose-filled and energised life, then \u003cem\u003e100 Ways to a Healthy 100 \u003c\/em\u003eis a genuine find.
