  • Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 50 pages. Published in 2004. Rare Elliott Erwitt collectible set. Pristine copies of "Spain by Erwitt" Print Advertisement and "Lovers [And Other Extreme Optimists]". "Spain By Erwitt": 8 X 10 inch vintage, actual print advertisement that the "Espana" Campaign ran to promote tourism in Spain. The ad shows Elliott Erwitt's magnificent photograph of Pablo Picasso's massive "Guernica" painting being viewed by a small boy. In effect, it showcases Spain's cultural richness and significance through Erwitt's imprimatur of a photograph. "Lovers [And Other Extreme Optimists]": The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. An Australian imprint, none of the copies was distributed commercially in the United States. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Elliott Erwitt: Small-size volume format. Pictorial hard boards with photographic reproduction and colorful titles on the cover, as issued. Photographs and brief text by Elliott Erwitt. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Sydney, Australia to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Elliott Erwitt's "Lovers [And Other Extreme Optimists]". A lovely selection of his most charming photographs. A photographer identified with irrepressible vitality, in this gem of a sequence, he is in full romantic bloom. As such, it isn't cloying at all and is instead, witty and lighthearted in the trademark Erwitt vein: The joys and silliness and warmth of human connection captured in some of his finest and most famous images. An absolute "must-have" collectible, not just memorabilia, set for Elliott Erwitt collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. It comes with the "Spain by Erwitt" Print Advertisement, which showcases Elliott Erwitt's image of Pablo Picasso's "Guernica" image being viewed by a small boy. As far as we know, this is the only set of "Lovers [And Other Extreme Optimists]" and "Spain by Erwitt" available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The Print Ad is vintage, an actual one, NOT a recent digital reprint. An Australian imprint, none of the copies of "Lovers" was distributed commercially in the United States. A rare set thus. Lavishly illustrated with black-and-white plates, 1 vintage Print Advertisement. One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. A fine set.
