"Author and artist Sappho Marchal was the daughter of the renowned French conservator of Angkor, Henri Marchal. She spent her early years in Cambodia surrounded by the magnificent monuments of the Khmers and produced the present study in 1927 at the age of 23. Her annotated line drawings capture the beauty and intricate detail of Khmer costumes and ornaments depicted on the apsara reliefs of Angkor Wat with even more clarity than film. This documentation is all the more valuable since many of these reliefs have severely deteriorated or disappeared. This first English edition of Marchal's work will serve as an essential record and guide for present-day visitors to the monument.".

Hard bound. Condition: New. First English Edition. The artist Sappho Marchal was the daughter of the renowned French conservator of Angkor, Henri Marchal. She spent the early years of her life in Cambodia, surrounded by the magnificent ruins of the Khmers, and produced the present study at age 23. Her fine line drawings present the myriad details of ornament and costume depicted on the stone reliefs of Angkor Wat with a clarity that could not be captured, even then, on film. Since that time, many of the stone carvings have severely deteriorated, rendering Marchal's drawings all the more valuable as a record for present-day students and restorers of Angkor. A translation, by Merrily Hansen, of the 1927 French edition. 128 pp., 44 b&w plates including numerous line drawings. Size: 21 x 15 cm.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. Superior copy, gift-quality condition, inside and out, no discernible wear, bright and shiny dust jacket, protected. Apparently unread, spine still crackles. Light brown paper over boards, black cloth-backed, with sharp and distinct lettering to spine. Edited and with new translations by Willis Barnstone. Extensive notes, a glossary, and testimonia from Sappho's admirers and critics from Plato to Plutarch. From the publisher's blurb, " "Though time has reduced the nine volumes of her work to a handful of complete poems and a collection of fragments, each word and phrase that survives is poignantly significant. The clarity of her voice, its absolute candor, its amazingly fresh authority - whether in addressing a goddess, dancers before a light altar, the moon and stars, a sweet apple or mountain hyacinth, a lamb or cricket, a love or companion - are qualities that compel us today as in antiquity. Willis Barnstone has given us a close and beautifully lyrical translation, with the original Greek on facing pages, that includes a dozen hitherto unintelligible fragments that have been brought vibrantly back to life by him, as well as Sappho's newly discovered poem from the Cologne papyrus in its complete form. The book also contains the translator's essay placing the poet in her historic and artistic context; a glossary; extensive notes; an epilogue and metrical guide by William E. McCulloh, Professor Emeritus of Classics at Kenyon College; and a special section of testimonia; appreciations of Sappho in the words of her ancient admirers." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xlix [1], 2-316 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
