Un Paese + 3 Long Handwritten Letters Discussing the Book

Milano/Torino: Giulio Einaudi Editore, 1955. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. A lovely Paul Strand collection, including 3 long, warm letters to his good friend Cipe Pineles (pioneering graphic designer and art director -- Seventeen, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Glamour). In the handwritten letters (which date from 1954, 1955 and 1962 and are 3, 4 and 3 pgs. long respectively), Strand among other things reflects on the 1955 1st edition of Un Paese, a very sharp copy of which we present here with the letters. The book and its dustjacket are very clean and each is solid and easily Near Fine. And the 3 letters are also bright, clean and eminently legible. An uncommon look, through these correspondences, at the musings of a major photographer toward his own recently published work. (The 3 letters and the book all being offered together, as an archive).
