Cloth Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Dwight Primiano (illustratore). First Edition. A crease on the interior front flap of the dustjacket, and price-clipped, elsewise a bright, clean, tight copy sans flecks, tears, stains, and discoloration with all text and illustrations clean/unmarked. "Most books that concentrate on American prints and printmakers are either primers for the uninitiated or predictable compilations of the standard war horses. The prints in this original and beautiful book are a far cry from either. Drawn from Reba and Dave Williams' formidable collection of over three thousand images, all produced in the United States in the first half of this century, this selection is diverse, idiosyncratic, and visually stunning." PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in 108 full page, black-and-white photographs of the prints with accompanying descriptive captions. "The selection is introduced by comprehensive essays discussing printmakers and printmaking during these five decades by David W. Kehl, associate curator of prints and photographs at the Metropolican Museum of Art, and Karen F. Beall, research associate at Carleton College and former curator of prints in the Library of Congress . Also included are complete biographies of each artist represented." 155 pages. GE1.
