The Seventh Dog is a new monograph by American photographer Danny Lyon.

Groundbreaking as a photobook in itself, Lyon tells this story starting in the present day and going back in time to the beginning of his career in the 1960s when he photographed the American civil rights movement and the Chicago bikeriders. Through text and imagecolor and black-and-white photographs, original photo collages, letters and other ephemera (many published here for the first time), and Lyon's own writingsthis is a story of Danny Lyon's personal journey as a photographera story about photojournalism, the move from film to digital photography, about Lyon's life and quest as a photographer, and of America.
