An austerely elegant production by Dave Heath and Michael Torosian: Regular-sized volume format. Pictorial hard boards with black cloth overboards and titles pasted on the spine, as issued. Hand-bound in Japanese Asahi bookcloth and Bugra mould-made paper. Photographic Sequence by Dave Heath. Two additional photographs neatly hand-tipped on two separate pages. "A Pilgrim's Progress" by Michael Torosian. "A Year In Chorwon" by Dave Heath.

Text printed in LetterPress on Biblio Paper, a mould-made sheet. 7 X 9 inch original silver-gelatin print of "Howard Crawford, Jr, Korea, 1953", whose titles are embossed directly on recto, printed in black letters on the opposite page, signed in pencil on verso by the photographer, and encased in its own folio. Khaki pictorial hard board slipcase, which houses both the book and the print folio. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the photographs' 50th anniversary. Presents, in the ultimate collectible edition, Dave Heath's "Korea: Photographs 1953-1954". Evocative portraits of American soldiers in the Korean War, in a lovingly produced portfolio. The sequence was first shown in 1958 to enormous critical acclaim for the young photographer. "Mr. Heath is a new photographer, and truly a discovery. His pictures reveal compassion, understanding, penetration, and a masterly use of the medium" (The New York Times). "Heath photographed his fellow soldiers in the winter of 1953-54, the early months of a tenuous truce, producing a suite of introspective portraits permeated with the malaise of war. It is a body of work that defined the young photographer as an artist" (Michael Torosian). The moving and beautiful portrait of Howard Crawford, Jr. , the accompanying print, embodies this "introspection-cum-malaise" quality. Dave Heath died on July 1, 2016 at the age of 85. An absolute "must-have" title for Dave Heath collectors. This is one of two "Hors de Commerce" copies, indicated/marked as such ("H/C") on the Back Limitation Page by the publisher. It comes with a 7 X 9 inch original silver-gelatin print of "Howard Crawford, Jr, Korea, 1953" that is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in pencil on verso by Dave Heath. The print's titles are embossed directly on recto and printed in black letters on the opposite page ("en face"). It is encased in its own folio. This title is a great art photography book. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Dave Heath books available online command thousands of dollars, rightly so. His vintage prints command tens of thousands. This may be many collectors' best chance to own both a book and an original print by the truly great photographer. A rare signed copy thus. 26 tritone plates, 1 color plate, 1 original silver-gelatin print. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy.
