High Society Photographer, Jerome Zerbe

Happy Times, text by Brendan Gill, photographs by Jerome Zerbe (Over sized HC, 1973, $3)

"Zerbe is this country's first- and only- society photographer. For many years he was the official photographer for El Morocco and was instrumental in making it the most famous and successful nightclub on earth...  He has devoted the greater portion of his career to depicting attractive people on delightful occasions- christenings, birthday parties, weddings, hunt breakfasts, theatre openings, tennis matches, and costume balls."

The above quote is a bit over the top. Still, looking at these pictures, you can tell everyone was having fun, both the photographer and those he photographed. Look for this book in the photographic section.
