Originally published in 1974 by the Jargon Society and long out of print, The Family Album of Lucybelle Crater is the best-known body of Ralph Eugene Meatyard's work. At once comic and tragic, grotesque and beautiful, the series of 64 images features his wife, Madelyn, in a hag's Halloween mask together in each with a different friend or relative in a transparent mask.

Beige linen hardcover under dust jacket, 280 x 240 mm. First edition, 1974. Text in english. Black & white photographs. One page half faded at the end of the book. In great condition. Rare and collectible copy of singular photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard.
