The award is given annually to a newly published book or exhibition catalogue that makes a significant contribution to the above studies, reflects original thought and exceptional creativity, and draws on appropriate research methods and techniques." The book is in as-new condition in a virtually as-new dust jacket.. SIGNED. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Book.
