LARTIGUE, J.H

Boyhood Photos of J.H. Lartigue: The Family Album of a Gilded Age

Lausanne: Ami Guichard (1966). First Edition. Oblong quarto. 164 tipped-in halftone plates, in the style of a photo album. A nice presentation copy, INSCRIBED by Lartigue : "Pour Judy et Paul amities de JAC," with Lartigue's typical small drawing of a sun. While the internet age has rectified the scarcity of this title, a recent online search turned up no signed or inscribed copies; this is only the second we have seen (Auer 458). Bit of wear to the spine tips, else near fine in gilt-stamped burgundy boards with a small oval photograph mounted on.
