William Eggleston: Polaroid SX-70 by William Eggleston

This book is a facsimile of an album of Egglestons Polaroids assembled by the photographer himself, and containing the only photos he made in this medium. Consisting of 56 images taken with the Polaroid SX-70 -the now cult camera produced between 1972 and 1981 and handmounted in a black leather album also produced by the company, Polaroid SX-70 is the fi rst publication of Egglestons Polaroids. The gloriously mundane subjects of these photos-a Mississippi street sign, a telephone book, stacked crates of empty soda bottles-are familiar Eggleston territory.
