Dust jacket is photo-illustrated with red and black titles and in mint condition. Book is pristine. Originally published in 1959, Lisboa is a symphony about Lisbon of the fifties, showing the city in its different aspects. The "graphic poem" as Victor Palla and Costa Martins(both architects) liked to call it, constructs a new city with (photographic and poetic) images, a city in the process of assimilating an international style. In Parr and Badger's "The Photobook: A History, vol. 1, 212-213 pp.," they write, " The photos are very modern, grainy, taken in a fast way, choosing spontaneity and instinct to artifact and composition...Lisboa is particularly notable for using many of the book-making ideas developed by William Klein, and Dutch photographers like Ed van der Elsken and Joan van der Keuken, and has a vibrant, cinematic feeling." This copy includes the 52 page supplement with original text by Gerry Badger. Spectacular photobook in layout, construction, and imagery. Mint Condition.
