About This Item
Paris: Gallimard/Denoël 1991, 1991. First edition. 330x255mm. Unpaginated. 150 black and white photographs and 29 pages of text in English and French including a series of observations by Banier entitled "La Vie de la photo". Original boards with black and white photographic illustration to the upper and lower covers. Lettered in black to the upper cover and spine. Original dust jacket with the same photographs and design as the covers. Protected by a transparent plastic wrapper lettered in black. The cover and dust-jacket and wrapper are fine. The contents are fine. There is also a black and white photograph of an unidentified young girl loosely inserted. Whether this is by Banier is unclear. This is a clean and tight copy of this well-known collection of photographs by France's best known social climber. The half-title and the verso of the ffep have been lavishly inscribed and decorated by Banier in multi-coloured felt pen. The book is inscribed on the half-title: "Pour Anne Grant avec beaucoup d'amitié. François-Marie Banier. Paris 8.6.93". The verso of the ffep has the inscription "Les Sourires vont plus loin que les actes".

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
