First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 16 pages. Artist Book. The 47th title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production by Nancy Honey and Chris Pichler: Small-size volume format. Titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs, design, and mise-en-scene by Nancy Honey. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Nancy Honey's "Poodle Parlour". A charming, lighthearted, and witty sequence of a visit to the eponymous parlor. Of all pets and perhaps because of its French origin, the poodle is most closely identified with luxury, indulgence, and discriminating taste. Nancy Honey shows how a pet becomes an extension, not just a part, of the lifestyle of her mistress (every poodle "master" is a she). The care the poodle gets is always excessive, and in some cases, the mistress comes to look like her poodle, the most famous example being Elizabeth Taylor, who sports a "poodle hairdo", and is identified with her pet poodles. An absolute "must-have" title for Nancy Honey collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in pencil on verso by Nancy Honey. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $75. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 7 plates, 1 original print. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1590052218.
