About This Item
London: Thames & Hudson. Good/Good. 1962. First Edition. Hard Cover. Large 4to Dust jacket is in a protective sleeve, rubbed at edges, price clipped. Mustard coloured cloth with bright gilt titles. Cloth hinges exposed between end papers. No inscription. 284 pages. With its splendid plates this volume catches and holds the wonderful diversity of Spain. And it does more. Francois Cali, who conceived the book pictorially, brings to it the eyes of an artist and poet - he sees the man mirrored in the landscape, the work of art in the troubled history that produced it. He has been well served by his photographers, while the introduction by Jaques Lafaye is a brilliant and sensitive evocation of Spain and its people. .
