Four Portrait Busts by Francesco Laurana
Clarence Kennedy, photographer
Ruth Wedgwood Kennedy, introduction
Gehenna Press 1962
Limited edition hardcover. Very good. Dark sage paper over gilt-letter vellum. Sunned near spine, damp splotch on cover, spine chipped near head. Interior pristine. No dustjacket. 500 copies were printed, of which this is #196. The first volume of the Gehenna Essays in Art focuses on four stunning busts of women by Laurana, Medieval sculptor in the Italian style. The book itself is a splendid work by the Gehenna Press, with gravure plates pressed onto handmade Italian paper.
