Ansel Adams, SEIRRA NEVADA THE JOHN MUIR TRAIL 1938 1st Edition Near Mint

He Archetype Press, Berkeley 1938, 1938. 13 x 17 inches, 202 pages, cloth, some very light soiling and discoloration to cloth (cover has been protected by acetate cover) , little or no fading to spine with very minor shelf wear, and 2 small bumps to bottom of front cover.

Very minor discoloration to all the page edges, common with a publication of this age. This was the first major monograph of Adams' work. The book includes tipped-in illustrations from photographs by Ansel Adams printed in the finest half-tone process of the time. Sierra Club member Walter Starr commissioned Adams to produce the book as a memorial to his son who was killed while climbing in the High Sierra. This elaborate publication was used as a sophisticated lobbying tool while Congress was voting on the establishment of Kings Canyon National Park. First Edition, Limited edition: 500 numbered and Signed copies by Adams. This copy is #164 edition. Near Mint, very little if any foxing to front and rear paste-downs and end-papers.

Three of the Plates have what would be called minor imperfections. Plate XV: BEAR CREEK SPIRE FROM MOUNT STARR has a 1.1mm X 0.1mm piece of ink missing from lower right-hand corner (see photos 7 and 8).

Plate XVI: LEAVES has perhaps 5 or 6 "cracks' in the "emulsion in the lower right hand area of the plate only visible when viewing it in strong side light (see photos 9 and 10), and. Plate XXX: MARION LAKE has what can best be described as a 2mm bump in the lower center of the image, again only visible when viewing it in strong side light (see photos 11 and 12). I have owned this book since 2004, and have only taken it from the Glass Book Case it has been stored in 3 or 4 times.

Any defects not mentioned but visible in the pictures will be considered as described. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.
