Slim oblong 8vo. (274 x 95 mm). [35 unnumbered leaves]. Leaf with title, blank leaf and 33 leaves, each with a triptych in matching format throughout composed of two facing profile monochrome photographic portraits of the same men at left and right and between a monochrome photograph of a weapon; all leaves printed recto only, publication details to rear inner wrapper. Original publisher's spiral bound printed wrappers with titles to front cover in black. A very fine copy of John Baldessari's artist book 'Brutus Killed Ceasar'. Baldessari is well known for using disparate elements of everyday life in his photographically generated works of art. In this, one of his earliest printed artists' books he juxtaposes three images in a linear format using two photographic portraits of a younger and older man facing each other with a photograph of a common household object between them. Each leaf repeats the same portraits but illustrates a different 'murder weapon' or more mundane item that might be (or has been at some point) used to commit a murder: a kitchen knife, a wooden board, a magnifying glass, a book of matches, pushpins, a banana skin, an arrow, an apple etc. Baldessari's book was published thanks to 'The Emily H. Davis Art Gallery of the University of Akronwith the cooperation of the Sonnabend Gallery New York and The Ohio State University Columbus'. (see rear inner wrapper). There is one very small bump to one corner (the upper right corner at spine of the front cover)otherwise the fragile book is in excellent condition.

First edition, large folio, [2], 2pp., without the list of subscribers, engraved frontispiece and 10 engraved plates with a total of 26 portraits of royalists, letter-press title and preface, some minor spotting and light browning but overall the plates are very clean and bright, expertly rebound in cont. style calf calf, marbled boards, red morocco spine label, an attractive copy. Rare: ESTC locates only three copy in the UK (all at Oxford) and four copies in North America. A reason for the scarcity of the complete volume may be found in a note on the title page, which advises that: "As these Prints are an agreeable Ornament for Rooms, they may be had of the Proprietors in neat black Frames and Glasses". Vertue's parents had served in the court of the exiled James II, and the publication of this volume in praise of loyal servants to the Stuart crown in the year of Culloden may well suggest Jacobite sympathies. This may be signalled by couplet from Pope quoted in the frontispiece: "Rich Industry Sat Smiling on the Plain | And Peace, and Plenty, told a Stuart's reign.".…
