Item description from seller

First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Fine cloth, with duotone plate tipped in the front cover. Photographic works by Stephen Aldrich and Walton Mendelson.

Includes a list of plates. 72 pp., with 67 duotone plates, beautifully printed on fine matte art paper from separations by Keith Schreiber. 13-1/2 x 16-3/4 inches. This first edition was limited to 1000 hardbound copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap.

[Lautréamont] Rather, their multilayered collages come from. their interest in the workings of the universe, and from their recognition of the connectedness of all things."
