Condizione: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. A significant association copy of this early American study of the sculptor Jacob Epstein, inscribed by the author to publisher Ben Raeburn. Robert Black's monograph remains a cornerstone for understanding Epstein's impact on 20th-century sculpture, particularly his controversial public monuments and expressive portrait busts. This limited-edition issue is heavily illustrated with 175 plates, providing an exhaustive visual archive of Epstein's output. Inscribed five years after publication to the founder of Horizon Press, this copy represents a physical intersection of art history and the mid-century New York publishing network. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: 175 full-page photographic plates including major works such as Genesis, Adam, and his celebrated portraits of Albert Einstein and Joseph Conrad. +++ Binding: Original publisher's cloth; spine professionally stabilized with dark-brown tape. +++ Limitation: Copy No. 404 of 425. Signed by Robert Black on the limitation page. +++ Inscription: Addressed to the publisher: June 14, 1947 / For Ben Raeburn from [R.B.] +++ Imprint: Cleveland: The World Publishing Company, 1942. +++ Specs: 12 inches tall (Quarto); 251 pages. CONDITION: Good. +++ The Book: Text block is firm and internally clean. The pages show light, even age-toning but are free of marks or foxing. +++ The Exterior: The spine has been stabilized with dark-brown tape to ensure structural integrity. Corners are rubbed with general shelf wear and exposure consistent with a frequently consulted reference work. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Modernist Reception: Documents the 1940s American critical perspective on Epstein, whose work was often met with public hostility for its raw, "primitive" power. +++ Publishing History: The 1947 inscription to Raeburn suggests Black was sharing his work with a peer known for supporting 'difficult' or avant-garde subject matter. Sourced from the estate of Ben Raeburn and Pat Percy; a 'working library' copy from a man who shaped the careers of Frank Lloyd Wright and the New York avant-garde. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Jacob Epstein was a lightning rod for the modernist movement. By the time this book was inscribed to Ben Raeburn in 1947, Raeburn was already beginning to cement his reputation as a publisher who valued artistic integrity over commercial safety. This copy is an artifact of that era-a time when the 'Republic of Letters' was actively debating the merits of modernism across different media.
