Set often in the French countryside, the backdrops are lush and timeless.
The book explores the concept of "adolescent beauty" and the transition from childhood to young adulthood. Unlike the classic Edith Wharton novel of the same name, which focuses on Gilded Age social constraints, Hamilton's work is purely a photographic art collection. It often features nudes or semi-nudes, which has led to ongoing debates regarding the distinction between art and obscenity. Legal Status & Availability
Original prints of Hamilton’s books sell for $150 to $800 on rare book sites like AbeBooks or eBay. The PDF devalues this art. If you are a collector or a student of photography, purchasing a used physical copy supports the secondary market and the estate.
