Synopsis
D.W. Griffith, most famous for his controversial film Birth of a Nation , was one of the undisputed pioneers of the film industry. This illustrated monograph, first published in 1940, traces Griffith's rise from an obscure actor-poet to the most imaginitive and resourceful film producer of his time. In this facsimile edition of a classic, Iris Barry gives a critical evaluation of the man under whose aegis the basic principles of the art of motion pictures were first fully developed. As Barry writes in the book's conclusion, "...the men who make films today know who it was that taught them the basis of their craft. The American public, which for 45 years has so keenly enjoyed and supported the motion picture, has been somewhat relctuant to allow it the status of an art. Now, gradually, they too are recognizing that in Griffith they have one of the greatest and most original artists of our time.", D.W.

- 5***8 (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI am always a little nervous when ordering books off of eBay but this seller has provided me with an EXCELLENT purchasing experience! The packaging was superior and I am grateful because this is a signed first edition and we all know how the post office can be at times. The Shipping was timely and the item actually arrived quicker than expected. The item EXCEEDED the description. It is stunning. I have dropped it off at my antiquarian for authors signature verification but the value is high.
- l***a (3698)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent seller! Book arrived earlier than expected, safely packaged, and in wonderful condition, especially for a 165 year old book. The description said to expect foxing and a loose binding, but the book I received had only a few minor foxing marks and a sturdy binding with just the tiniest bit of wobble. Much better than expected --and at a great price too. Many thanks to this wonderful 5 star+ seller!Perfect Gentleman; Or, Etiquette & Eloquence by A Gentleman HC 1860 (#396112941293)
