What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper
First edition.
Bound in the publisher's cloth with the original, scarce and unclipped dust wrapper.
A collection of one-hundred remarkable photographs from Cecil Beaton's first trip to India, where he spent most of 1944 travelling the country.
An uncommon work from Beaton, these photos provide a glimpse into his personal life, as well as giving insight into the national, military and cultural life in India during this post-war period.
Collated, complete, with one-hundred striking and beautiful photographs in black-and-white.
With a stamp of Advani & Co. Cawnpore, The Mall.
Condition
Bound in the publisher's cloth with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with light bumping to the extremities and the odd mark to cloth. Lacking front free endpaper. Stamp to front paste down. Dust wrapper is sound, with chipping to the extremities and loss to the head of the rear board and the backstrip head. Heavier loss to the backstrip tail and lower front panel. Closed tears to the front flyleaf, front panel tail and rear panel head. A little sunning to the wrap's backstrip and the odd mark. Internally, firmly bound. Tape reinforcing gutter to a few pages, not affecting photos. Pages are bright and clean, with just the odd handling mark.
Very Good Indeed
