[Publisher's Mock-Up or Maquette]: The World of Atget

Descripción

The publisher's mock-up of this landmark book on the important French photographer, written and prepared by a distinguished American photographer. Large quarto. Publisher's cloth, unstamped and unlettered. Publisher's blueline printed text laid in, or bound in on pasted photostats, the title page has been composed from cut and pasted elements, the 176 images that grace the book are also pasted in as blueline examples, and are numbered with pasted on numbers or hand corrections. One Atget image appears to be a fine quality gelatin silver photographic print of Plate 91, "Interior" (possibly printed by Abbott), and is mounted on card and laid into the mock-up (with a crease to the mount and to one corner of the image). The dust jacket proof is glued to boards with the flap copy affixed to the unprinted flaps. Some of the affixed text is loose or in a couple of cases partially detached because of the composer's glue drying, the jacket is a bit tattered, though overall mostly complete. A unique artifact presenting the birth of an important monument in photographic history, Abbott's definitive study of Atget. Provenance on request. N° de ref. del artículo 385445
