About This Item
N.P., 1922. Oblong 8vo, wraps, 9 x 6 inches. Rear wrap detached, tears and chips to front wrap, fine contents, very good overall. Very Good. An uncommon first edition copy of Manuel Gomez Miralles' photographic survey of Costa Rica. Miralles was one of Costa Rica's most prolific photographers, operating for many decades, and this book is an early collection of his work. Miralles work is compositionally advanced and his large format images are reproduced effectively in the volume. This book was the only survey of Miralles' work to appear in his lifetime, and after his death his negatives were sold to a foreign photographer. We find no records of this book in the trade or auction records at the time of this listing.
