RISTELHUEBER, Sophie

Beyrouth Photographies

Paris: Éditions F. Hazan, 1984. First Edition. Octavo. 31 black and white images of bomb-shattered buildings in Beirut. Ristelhueber's dispassionate presentation only adds to the despair of the subject. A single page of introduction and an unassuming place index in the rear provide the only text. (Auer 654). Hint of foxing to the thin top edge, else fine in wrappers in the near fine printed acetate jacket which shows some darkening at the spine and a few tiny edge tears. Uncommon book: this is the first copy I have seen.
