A 1985 second printing of Ansel Adams: An Autobiography, written by the celebrated American photographer Ansel Adams, with Mary Street Alinder, and published by Little, Brown and Company in Boston as a New York Graphic Society book.

Completed shortly before his death in 1984, this autobiography looks back on Adams’s extraordinary life and six-decade career.

The book offers readers a more personal perspective on the man behind some of the most recognizable landscape photographs in American art.
