Burden, Shirley C. Presence: Photographs by Shirley C. Burden.

Aperture, 1981. Preface by Thomas Keating.  [Black and white moody photos by Burden, who was better known as an "angel" supporting fine art photographers than as a photographer. Photographs of cemeteries, Lourdes supplicants, a Trappist monastery, statues of the Madonna, Ellis Island, and Ireland.]  Very good in hardcover with protected dust jacket with some fading on spine as typical with this dust jacket.

Shirley Carter Burden (December 9, 1908 – June 3, 1989) was an American photographer, author of picture essays on racism, Catholicism, and history of place. He served on advisory committees of museums, including the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in California, and was the Photography Committee chairman at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and of Aperture, which named the Burden Gallery (New York) in his honor.
