Penn, Irving: Flowers. 1980. Cloth with dustjacket.

New York: Harmony. 1980. First edition. Small square quarto. Linen covered boards. Fine in fine dustjacket. A spectacular copy of this beautifully reproduced (on Kromekote paper) collection of Irving Penn flower photographs. From the front panel: "Irving Penn turned his unique eye to the subject of flowers in 1967. From 1967 to 1973, Penn photographed a different variety of flower for each Christmas issue of Vogue magazine. These photographic essays captured the extraordinary beauty and promise of the poppy, tulip, rose, lily, peony, orchid, and begonia. Most of the photographs selected for this book are reproduced for the first time. Each section is devoted to one of the seven flowers, showing different species, as well as different stages of development-from the green freshness of the flower bud, to the full and open perfection of the bloom and even to the stark and often haunting death of the flower. In fact, Penn writes of his preference for flowers 'when they have already begun spotting and browning and twisting on their way back to the earth'". An exquisite book. Uncommon in this beautiful condition.
