AMERICA BY THE YARD: Cirkut Camera
By Robert MacKay.
Images from the Early Twentieth Century.
This book is both a history of an unusual camera and a splendid display of its product. The Cirkut Camera, Eastman Kodak's rotational device for taking panoramic pictures--or 'yard-longs'--took the nation by storm in the 1910s and '20s, and was widely used by commercial photographers through the World War II era. In this astonishing collection of early panoramas, many up to 5 feet wide, 102 'yard-longs' are meticulously reproduced in duotone to display the extraordinary detail of these very large prints. And if you think a double spread of these 16 inch pages is big, wait until you see the triple and quadruple fold-out pages!
