Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Tokyo, Japan to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Sarah Moon's "Vrais Semblants". Her breakthrough, and still her most well-known, title. Exquisitely printed on Japanese paper, her shimmering images are showcased in all their timeless beauty, enigma, and elegance. Achieved primarily through the photographer's mastery of the soft-focus camera technique, they immediately established Sarah Moon as a global, "cult-status" photographer whose Romantic, feminine sensibility and imagery go against the harshness of the contemporary trend in fashion photography, and remain entirely and inimitably her own. An absolute "must-have" title for Sarah Moon collectors. This title is a cult photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a beauty. Please note: This is a copy of the original edition, published in Japan. The book remains available in multiple subsequent editions, which all look like the First Edition because they are facsimiles, but are not the true first. A rare copy thus. 81 plates. Winner of The Grand Prize of the Bologna International Book Fair in 1983 for "Little Red Riding Hood", the only photographer ever to win the award. One of the finest artist/photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SARAH MOON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 4891942894. Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
