Imogen! Imogen Cunningham Photographs 1910-1973, 77 (reversed). "When it was exhibited in San Francisco in 1928, Edward Weston wrote me: 'I went out to the museum today . . . as usual, most of it was rubbish . . . but I had one thrill, and it was your print, Glacial Lily . . . It is the best thing in the show, Imogen, and if you keep up to that standard, you will be one of a handful of important photographers in America, or anywhere.' "
