Considered by many to be the father of the history of photography, Beaumont Newhall was known by his intimate circle as a great chef and gracious host as well. This beautifully designed volume contains a substantial selection of Newhall’s articles and recipes culled from his weekly column, “Epicure Corner,” which appeared in The Brighton-Pittsford Post in Rochester, New York, from 1956–1969.
Accompanying the columns is a selection of photographs made by some of the “Newhall Circle,” which included Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand, and many other twentieth-century photographic luminaries, as well as reminiscences from his many colleagues and friends who enjoyed Beaumont’s efforts in the kitchen. This tribute publication to a seminal figure in the history of the medium was edited by David Scheinbaum, who worked with Newhall for 15 years as his assistant, until his death in 1993. Scheinbaum lovingly introduces the book with a personal essay.
