Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. A new book and D.J. that is unused and unmarked. 208 pages. Includes text, photographs, drawings, maps, etc. 12 7/8" X 10" X 1" clothbound."The prehistoric cave in France's Dordogne region, with its 17,000-year-old animal paintings discovered accidentally in 1940, was sealed in 1963 due to deterioration in atmospheric conditions. Two decades later, television producer Ruspoli went underground to take the photographs that form the basis of this handsome, comprehensive book. The murals he recordedelegant renderings of animals in stately friezes, courting rituals and overlapping groupingsare here beautifully reproduced. The text elucidates the theory that the paintings were created as part of a paleolithic mythology, with Lascaux a religious sanctuary. Bolstering this, the author shows stenciled handprints, shamanistic human figures and arcane symbols (perhaps prewriting). He also includes an abundance of background information, including scientific data on both the animals and the artists. This is a fascinating and beautiful addition to the library of amateur anthropologist and art lover alike.".

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. The paintings in the cave of Lascaux were discovered in 1940.

Minor scuffs and shelf-wear to the jacket. Slight toning to the edges of the pages. Fraying to the end of the page-marker ribbon. 208 pages. 12.75 x 10.25".

It was soon overwhelmed by tourists, and in the early 1960s Lascaux showed inescapable evidence that its radiant frescoes of bison, aurochs, horses, and deer were dimming with molds and fungi generated by bright lights and the warmth and breath of countless visitors. Lascaux was sealed in 1963 by order of the Ministry of Culture, its atmosphere monitored to restore the ancient conditions. But soon the ministry saw the need to create a record of Lascaux's now permanently inaccessible wonders, in 1981~83, hemmed in by infinite precautions, the distinguished prehistorian and television producer Mario Ruspoli filmed and photographed Lascaux with a six~man team who called themselves "Lascaux~nauts." The process of recording the images is itself an exciting story as the photographers were limited to only two hours of work three times a week. The entire effort took three years; from it has grown this thrilling book. While the glaciers made their last advance and retreat thousands of years ago cavemen were painting in the underground galleries and tortuous chambers of Lascaux: it was a sanctuary filled with evidence of the human spirit that we are only now beginning to discern. The unprecedented skill and patience of Ruspoli's imaginative yet scrupulously scientific approach have opened up new, previously unexplored paths of research. The content and meaning of the frescoes are discussed by Ruspoli and by other experts and scholars in prehistoric art. In our lifetimes, this will be the broadest. richest, and last view of the Stone Age life and world that is Lascaux.
