"In 1941 the Limited Editions Club of New York commissioned Edward Weston to illustrate photographically a special edition of Walt Whitman's 'Leaves of Grass'. After receiving assurances that he would not have to 'illustrate' or 'recapture' Whitman's America, Weston accepted the commission. The fulfillment of the commission required an arduous journey through all of America, since Whitman was, par excellence, the poet of the whole American continent. This Paddington Press Edition contains the complete text and every photograph from the Limited Editions volume."
