The Animals: The Engravings of Barry Moser.

Moser, Barry (illus.)

(Pasadena): Vance Studley, 1997. Oblong 32mo. (8)ff. unbound booklet + 18 sheets of engravings, each signed by Moser. One of twenty copies. Cut in Resingrave and printed on Karma paper, the engravings collected here depict animals from across the globe in astonishing detail. Moser, as only he can, shows each creature in its uniqueness, its strangeness, and its joy. The toothy mule brays with slanted mouth. The bat shies away from curious eyes behind sleek wings. The platypus laughs as he swims by. Vance Studley's brief introduction provides both applause and context. Housed in silk-covered portfolio, which only shows faint sunning. Fine. Item #31178

Price: $1,750.00
