Leica IIIc outfit 'Walker Evans'

A late Leica IIIc, owned and used by famous photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975). Evans purchased the camera in March 1954 in New York City. It comes with a Leicavit and two Nikon lenses: a Nikkor-O 4/2.1cm no.220540 (a Nikon F lens, including a Leica adapter, hood, two filters and Leitz 21mm finder) and W-Nikkor C 2.5/3.5cm no.251533 (an M39 lens, including hood, finder and a filter). Both lenses and the camera are mentioned in the list of Evans' photographic equipment from 1961 (copy included, the original document is a part of the Walker Evans Archive of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City). Also included in this lot is the beautiful first print of 'Message from the Interior' by Evans (New York, 1966).
Provenance: a personal and professional assistant of Mr Evans who inherited this camera.
