Añadir al carritoHard Cover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. Sumptuous photography book, with the photographs printed on laquered Kromekote "to achieve maximum brilliance and fidelity", recording the spectacular gorge in remote Utah carved by the Colorado River, and flooded by the building of a dam in 1963; the…book is a remembrance and a warning. Its prehistoric sites hurriedly studied before the dam was built, and visited by numerous conservationists before its flooding (including Edward Abbey, who wrote about his trip 'down the river' in Desert Solitaire), the canyon remains a focal point of environmentalists, with renewed interest now that submerged areas are re-emerging under historic drought conditions. Oversized hardcover in jacket, as pictured; first edition (first printing), listing no later printings. Light wear to book; bookplate on flyleaf, cockling the page; hinges tender; jacket shows some rubbing & chipping, short tears; $20 price Until 6-1-63 remains. Text clean; 170 pages, references, species list, 72 color plates. A surcharge for expedited or international shipping of this oversize book may be required; please inquire for an accurate quote. Size: 10½ " by 14". Eliot Porter (ilustrador).
