About this Item

VG clean copy in similar dust jacket. Text in French. The interest and the value of this book is more to do with the inscription. It is signed on the title page by the great artist himself and personally inscribed to Oscar winner Jack Cardiff, the famous movie director and cinematographer whose career spanned from the 1920s, through the days of technicolor, and right up to modern times. His life has been written about and is now the focus of a play called "Prism" It is part of a collection of books acquired from Jack Cardiff's art collection some years ago, when I actually met the man himself. The inscription is in French and reads "A Monsieur Jack Cardiff, amicalement, Maurice, Utrillo, V" It is a very distinct signature exactly as seen on his paintings. It truly is a unique piece of art and cinema history/memorabilia. Utrillo's art often sells for �100s of thousands at auction. Unique copy which would make a highly collectable gift.

Store Description

Richardson Rare Books Tel. 01472 823900 was formerly known as Mr. Books which is located on Tonbridge High Street in Kent, England for over 12 years up until July 2017. Due to the sale of the bricks and mortar side of the business it made sense to change the name to reflect a shift of direction. Since then we have been trading online, at PBFA fairs and Bloomsbury Book Fairs, as well as showcases at select antique centres in Lincolnshire. We don't specialise in anything in particular, just rare and fine books on many subjects. Over the years we have built up an impressive range of signed modern fiction firsts which aren't always listed on abebooks so please do call us if you have any particularly collections you'd like to add to. The stock is being constantly replenished so it's always worth visiting us at one of the fairs we exhibit at. See web site for details (subject to constructing it.)
