Ella A. ★★★★★

I’ve been flipping through it every night since it arrived, and Man Ray’s shots alone are worth the price. The print quality makes those half-century-old negatives feel like they were taken yesterday.

Emma C. ★★★★★

The Surrealist portraits of women jumped off the page—the print quality really does justice to Man Ray’s work. I’ve spent an entire evening flipping through Berenice Abbott’s shots and the rest of the collection feels just as thoughtfully curated. A solid pick for anyone who wants a survey of 20th-c

Abigail H. ★★★★★

The Man Ray portraits alone are worth the price of admission—the surrealist compositions are reproduced with incredible clarity. A beautiful, well-curated collection for anyone interested in 20th century photography.
