New York: The Limited Editions Club, 1996. Limited Edition (300 copies). Hardcover. Fine. 16" x 13. Henri Cartier-Bresson. Signed by the artist. LIMITED EDITION #23 of 300. Signed by the artist. English and French text. Quarter-bound dark tan leather on beige cloth boards, titled in gold on the spine. Features beautiful swirling watercolors by Cartier-Bresson. The three woodblock prints, including frontispiece, were achieved by Keiji Shinohara, using as many as thirty blocks to capture the color variations of the original paintings. They are printed on imported hand-milled Japanese paper. The text was hand-set by Dan Carr and Julia Ferrari and printed on roughly uncut, handmade Japanese paper called Tosa Hanga. The French text is interlined (inserted after) each line of English, using 24-point Perpetua type for the English and 14-point Gill Sans Light for the French. No pagination. Laid inside a lined clamshell box, covered in beige cloth, with a dark tan leather label, titled in gold, on the spine. Book and box in FINE condition. Due to this book's size and/or weight, additional shipping may be needed. Full refund if not satisfied.
