About This Item
np: (Mike Mandel), 1974. First edition. Very good plus.. Clever artist's book that questions the importance of association to the quality or value of a photograph, signed by Mandel as "Ed." At once humorous and heartfelt, this photographic work showcases surveys and portraits of Americans who happen to be named EDWARD WESTON, but bear no connection to the photographer of the same name. The other Edwards have occupations ranging from insurance agent to beekeeper, and their surveys offer a glimpse into their lives and those of their loved ones. Uncommon signed. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original staple-bound color illustrated wrappers. Three color and four black-and-white photographic illustrations, with seven images of completed questionnaires. [20] pages. Inscribed by Mandel in ink to title page: "Your pal, / Ed. / 3-25 75." Mild rubbing, as usual; slight curve to front cover. Very light brown spotting to upper extremities of pages. Else sound and bright.
