This 1949 volume of Simon Lissim: Fourteen Plates is more than a handsome mid-century art book—it is a presentation copy inscribed by Simon Lissim to the Traphagen School. That association gives the book an added layer of interest beyond its visual appeal and complete contents.
Bound in marbled boards with a blue cloth spine, the book has the kind of elegant shelf presence collectors appreciate. It is complete and appears to remain in very good condition overall.
What makes this copy especially desirable:
inscribed presentation copy
given by Simon Lissim to the Traphagen School
complete with the plates
strong decorative and collectible value
appealing crossover for art, design, fashion, and book collectors
Condition is very good overall, complete, and visually impressive.
After 5 decades in this industry, and with me now vintage too, I still appreciate copies that have a little extra story behind them. This one certainly does.
