[Rarebooks] FS: Neruda's HEIGHTS OF MACCHU PICCHU Illustrated with Photogravures by Edward Ranney

[Charles Agvent]

NERUDA, Pablo. HEIGHTS OF MACCHU PICCHU. [New York]: Limited Editions 
Club, (1998). Oblong folio (15" x 12") bound in full dark green linen 
with a black leather spine label lettered in gilt. Translated by John 
Felstiner and illustrated with photogravures by Edward Ranney. This poem 
is the result of a visit by the Chilean winner of the Nobel Prize to the 
mysterious citadel in Peru built by the Incas. "The superb photographs 
of Macchu Picchu by Ranney that accompany Pablo Neruda's Heights of 
Macchu Picchu stand among the finest works of a photographer whom one 
critic calls 'a very modern visionary of the antique,' embodying 'a 
gnomic monumentality, an almost clinical sublimity.'" Copy #154 of 300 
numbered copies SIGNED by the translator and by the illustrator. Monthly 
Letter laid in. Fine in slipcase, as issued. (#013460)        $2,500.00
