David Wiesner / HURRICANE Signed 1st Edition 1990
Signed first printing together with a rare proof of this story of a scary storm and resulting damage to a giant old tree, made less scary through imagination. Near fine in near fine jacket, with very good plus proof.
David Wiesner's knack for scale and perspective - from illustrating tiny fish at play or the imposing hulk of an enormous felled tree to entirely wordless stories - have earned him three Caldecott Medals, only the second artist to do so. New York: Clarion Books, (1990). 9'' x 10.5'' (book); 9'' x 11'' (proof).
Inscribed to Sarah from David Wiesner to half title page. Proof with color pictorial self-wrappers, saddle-stapled. Proof with light edgewear and a hint of soil. Jacket and binding with a touch of edgewear. Type Punch Matrix is a rare book firm founded by Rebecca Romney and Brian Cassidy.
