Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Poor. 1st Edition. 104 pages (complete). A Swiss photographer, a Swiss artist, a Swiss clown have combined to produce this mesmerising book about European circuses. Staub's photographs have his hallmark stillness in moments of great confusion and busyness. Fries's sketches (10 of them) meanwhile, with their thin, sharp strokes convey the energy and crackle of circus-life. A vivacious book in happy repair. The dustjacket is enclosed by a clear cellophane protective cover. The dustjacket itself is worn, creased, intact and sure. Yet, the energies of the photograph still race from the covers. The boards have some shelving wear but are otherwise healthy and tight. Inside, the contents are sure, firm, confident. The pages are expressive, creative, clean, clear, very certain, at times poignant and moving, at other times engrossing and involving. fk.
