About this Item
Description:
Here is another book of photography inscribed by one Life Magazine photographer, Dimitri Kessel to another, Alfred Eisenstaedt. Please find then: Splendors of Christendom Great Art and Architecture in European Churches by Dimitri Kessel. This very large hard cover book (122 x 13 ¼ x 2 inches 267 pages) was published by Edita Lausanne dated 1964, and I believe this is the First Edition/First Printing. The book is bound in black heavy weave cloth with gilt titles on cover and spine and protected by a glossy pictorial dust jacket. Please see the photos of the Table of Contents and the List of Illustrations for your further and more detailed information about the book. As this list attests, the book includes more than 100 color photographs all tipped-in. It is nicely inscribed from Dimitri Kessel to Alfred Eisenstaedt on the title page. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket has a small chip out of the upper left-hand quadrant of the front cove and a good deal of light edge wear. The hard covers are generally clean but show some light blemishes to the finish (although the digital camera is much more critical than the human eye) and have been lightly bumped at the corners and spine tips. Inside the book is unmarked except for the Author s inscription; the interior pages are bright and clean throughout without toning or foxing. Seller Inventory # 44
