About This Item
Signed. First Edition. Near Fine / near fine. 110 objects from the world renowned collection at the Dallas Museum of Art. The book is very slightly cocked and the jacket shows slight shelf wear. The author, who is the current senior curator, has inscribed the book to John Lunsford, who was senior curator at the museum when he retired in 1986, after 28 years. The inscription credits him for largely creating the collection. Laid in is a note card thanking Lunsford for creating the collection. The card is signed 'Bonnie', who is Bonnie Pittman, the Eugene McDermott director at the museum. The current senior curator, and author, has dated, inscribed and signed to the previous curator. The book was aquired from the estate of John Lunsford. Lunsford was a remarkable man. RIP.

About mark mcdonald
Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
