Descripción

This is a very good hardcover copy without dust jacket as issued, with just light wear. Completely clean inside and out. Text in English and Italian. This catalog was prepared to accompany the exhibition at the Soho Photo Gallery in New York from April 1 to May 3, 2003. The catalog was edited by Roberto Palmas, the son of Giuseppe Palmas.

Also a list of plates with some identifying information. 9" square, 14 pages text + plates. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
