Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Very Good+. First edition. One of 372 copies (this being copy seventy-two). Signed by Terry Ramsaye and Thomas Edison. A Very Good set. Two volumes, quarto (262 x 175 mm). Collating: lxx, 400; 401-868 pp. Frontispieces. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographic reproductions. In the publisher's deluxe…quarter leather over textured paper boards. A large paper copy, with edges untrimmed. Minor edgewear. Evidence of removed bookplates to upper endpapers. The library stamp of the Gertrude Kistler Memorial Library to margin of each title-page and to lower endpapers. A few spots of toning to first and last few leaves; otherwise, very clean throughout. An appealing set. This first official history of cinema, written by film journalist Terry Ramsaye, presents a clear and detailed picture of the early development of film as seen from the Edison camp. Dwelling specifically on Edison's early Kinetograph and his "Black Maria" (the first studio to be built specifically for making commercial films), Ramsaye charts the development of the motion picture industry through 1925. While later critics downplayed Edison's importance, recent scholars have reinstated his preeminent position in the history of film. A lavish production, chronicling the history of the silver screen, with wonderful vintage photographs - as Edison states, "the first endeavor to set down the whole and true story of the motion picture.through his years of preparation.I am aware of [the author's] effort at exact fact. A high degree of detailed accuracy has been attained.". Very Good+. Signed.
