[Signed] Zerbe, Jerome. Happy Times. First Edition. 1973. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Text by Brendan Gill. Book is signed by both Jerome Zerbe and Brendan Gill on the half title page.
This is a retrospective on the career of society lensman Jerome Zerbe. Included are his early work at El Morocco, his Hollywood adventures, and his World War II photographs of U.S. war efforts. Whatever the subject, the vision and style are uniquely Jerome Zerbe. New Yorker writer Brendan Gill is very much up to the task of interpreting the photographs and their context. He captures Zerbe’s alluring but ephemeral world thusly: “Mark me. Envy me. I was this person in this time and place. And I was happy.”
“The young and the rich and the beautiful—they have reason, those lucky ones, to wish full records kept of their pleasures and revels, even of their follies. How else are they to outwit the enemy they have in common, implacable time?”
--Brendan Gill
