NEW ENGLAND DAYS: PHOTOGRAPHS BY PAUL CAPONIGRO.
Boston, MA: David R. Godine/An Imago Mundi Book, 2002. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 79 pages. As New/As New. Signed. The photographer's most recent, and reportedly, last collection. Published as a hardcover original only, it is the first and only edition. A handsome production by Paul Caponigro and Carl W. Scarbrough: Oversize-volume format in oblong shape. Blue cloth boards with silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs and Introduction by Paul Caponigro. Foreword by Aprile Gallant. Printed on thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents the American landscape photographer's work on a lifelong interest. A disciple of Minor White and the artistic descendant of Ansel Adams, Caponigro has been prolific and his output impressive. He has photographed New England extensively and this collection of forest streams, snow-covered trees, still lifes, rural landmarks, rocky pools, and other settings shows him at his most reflective and lyrical. A lovely valentine to Nature from one of its most ardent suitors, this is a "must-have" title for Paul Caponigro collectors. This copy is prominently and beautifully signed in black fountain pen on the title page by Paul Caponigro. In a relatively short period of time, it sold out as it is widely believed to be Paul Caponigro's last book following his retirement from active publishing. Caponigro sold his print archives, enabling him to retire and devote himself to his personal photographic projects. This the one of extremely few signed copies still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. 58 duotone plates. One of the greatest living American photographers. A flawless copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PAUL CAPONIGRO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1567922163. $125.00 |
