Beschreibung

Albuquerque, Loujon Press, 1970 ('First edition book & portfolio' . 'Edition F'). A portfolio comprising 12 large loose plates after watercolours and drawings by Miller; a book (quarto; comb-bound in plain stiff boards, with a decorative wrap-around dustwrapper); and a title-plate mounted on a sheet of thick card, in a large foam-lined decorated wooden box, with a plate (from a photograph of the author and his wife) and the original purchaser's engraved metal name-plate (noting the edition) mounted on the sliding lid. The plates are uniformly in fine or near-fine condition (three plates have a few very light fingermarks to the blank margins). The plain boards of the book are a little offset, and there is some surface adhesion damage to the dustwrapper; an excellent copy. The wooden box is a little rubbed, with one tiny mark to the plate mounted on the lid. Overall, an excellent example of this deluxe production from the Loujon Press. The book is a facsimile of Miller's manuscript reflection, agonising about his relationship with his wife Hiroko 'Hoki' Tokuda. Number 12 of 99 copies of Edition F (the limitation is stamped and hand-numbered at the rear of the book), with three of the plates dated ('10/15/70') and signed by the author in pencil beneath the printed signatures, as called for in this edition.
