About This Item
New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1957. First edition. Hardcover. vg+ to fine. Quarto. xxxviii, 151pp. [1]. Illustrated purple and red dust jacket. Original publisher's belly band and cardboard slipcase as issued. Beige cloth boards with illustration in black on the front cover, black lettering on the spine. Illustrated endpapers. Original torn publisher's belly band laid in at the interior front cover. This monograph showcases Marc Chagall's graphic work from the years 1922-1957, and includes a total of 148 images reproducing the artist's work. Most images are in b/w, with six in color, and can be divided roughly into five major stages of Chagall's career: etchings for his autobiography, - illustrations for Gogol's "Dead Souls" (1923-27) - etchings for La Fontaine's "Fables" (1927-30), - illustrations for the Bible - his post-war lithographs. All images are finely printed, mostly in high quality offset, with a few b/w images being lithographic.
Dust jacket with some minor rubbing to corners, and spine, with a few small closed tears to the head of the spine. Belly band with some light creasing and a few small closed tears, but otherwise in good shape. Interior clean throughout, with book block tight overall. Binding and interior in fine condition, dust jacket and belly band in very good+ condition, slipcase in fine condition with original bookseller's stamp at the top.
