Añadir al carritoLeather in crate. Condición: Very Good+. First Edition; Production Sample. Color and b&w photos and reproductions; Elephant Folio 23" tall; 616 pages; 2006 Taschen, Cologne. Elephant folio, approximately 20 x 14 in. 616 pp. Full leather with photographic onlay to upper board and gilt spine lettering. An unusual unnumbered and un…signed SAMPLE copy produced in connection with Taschen's deluxe 250-copy Collector's Edition, housed in its fitted velvet-lined wooden shipping crate. Taschen issued the book in a total limitation of 2,500 signed and numbered copies. The first 250 constituted the deluxe Collector's Editions: nos. 1â"125 accompanied by Beard's signed photograph "Fayel Tall" and nos. 126â"250 by "965 Elephants". The remaining 2,250 copies comprised the Art Edition. The deluxe issues were distinguished by their full-leather binding, original signed photograph, wooden stand, and elaborate velvet-lined wooden shipping crate. The present example is a bindery/production SAMPLE, unnumbered and unsigned, with **SAMPLE** prominently stamped to the page-block edges and initial leaf. Of particular interest is its direct provenance: this copy was acquired from a former employee of the bindery responsible for production of the edition, who had been instructed to destroy it after its use as a production sample but instead preserved it. Present are the full-leather Beard volume, original fitted velvet-lined wooden crate, and large portfolio intended to house the original Beard photograph. The original photograph and wooden stand are not present. Leather shows moderate handling and surface wear, principally at the extremities, presumably associated with its use as a production sample and repeated removal from the fitted crate. Photograph portfolio with light handling wear. Book sound and internally clean and well preserved. Wooden crate with exterior rubbing, marks, and expected evidence of handling, storage, and transport. A monumental production among modern photographic monographs, reproducing Beard's African photography, wildlife studies, fashion work, portraits, diaries, and celebrated densely collaged journals on an extraordinary scale. An uncommon production artifact from one of Taschen's most ambitious photographic publications, retaining its full-leather Collector's Edition-format binding, original fitted wooden crate, and photograph portfolio. Unsigned and unnumbered, without the original photograph and wooden stand, as described. E xtremely large and heavy. Please inquire regarding shipping arrangements.
