HENRIETTA SHORE

MERLE ARMITAGE

Published by WEYHE, 1933

About this Item

#7 OF 200 COPIES, WITH 54 PAGES, 24 EXCELLENT ILLUSTRATIONS PLUS A POOR PHOTOCOPY OF THE ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF SHORE BY JEAN CHARLOT. EDWARD WESTON, WHO PHOTOGRAPHED ALL THE WORK, WROTE A BRIEF ESSAY, AS DID REGINALD POLAND. DESPITE A BIT OF PAPER LOSS ON THE BACKSTRIP, THIS IS A VERY NICE COPY; IT REMAINED THE ONLY PUBLICATION ON SHORE FOR OVER 50 YEARS. THE JEAN CHARLOT LITHOGRAPH, ONLY INCLUDED IN PHOTOCOPY, WHICH USUALLY GIVES THIS BOOK ITS HIGH VALUE, IS BEYOND LUDICROUS, MORE LIKE A CARICATURE THAN A HOMAGE. THERE IS HARDLY A CHARLOT LITHO VALUED AT MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS AND I THINK IF THIS ONE WERE FOR SALE IT WOULD NOT GET THAT MUCH. BROWN PAPER CHEMISE, OR DUST JACKET, PRESENT & COMPLETE BUT USED, IS TORN AT ONE FOLD AND IN 2 PARTS. A VERY GOOD COPY OF A GREAT BOOK. Seller Inventory # K28086
