The Photograph as Symbol
Mountain View: Jonathan Clark: Artichoke Editions, 1976. [22] leaves, presswork on Fabriano, seven "varnished letterpress reproductions printed by hand from copper engravings," quarter-bound (spine and corners) in beautifully tanned, deeply dyed black goatskin titled gilt over marbled boards, with a reduced-size version of the sixth photo decorating cover in an intaglio cartouche. The slipcase matches: dark blue cloth edges framing marbled sheets with an exquisite small black leather label. 13x9.5 inches; no.60 of 200. Fine book, fine slipcase. Laid in are the letterpress prospectus also decorated with a reduced print (photo the second), a gorgeous 1979 publications list, and two invoices, a standard and a fancy one, the latter a TLs on letterhead announcing that "the Patchen print you wanted" is set aside, these items also fine.
