Abstract

Henry James’s role in directing Alvin Langdon Coburn concerning the subjects of the photos for the New York Edition is well known. Not all the frontispieces, however, follow the detailed instructions of the writer. The paper explores the reasons of the shift from the original idea to the final result, and redefines the role of the photographer in the choice of subjects and compositions.
