DANTE ALIGHIERI (ILLUSTRATED BY TOM PHILLIPS) The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri. Inferno. A Verse Translation by Tom Phillips with Images and Commentary.
London: Talfourd Press, 1983. Two volumes, complete. One of the great 20th-century livres d'artiste, and certainly the great 20th-century edition of Dante, far surpassing Dali and Rauschenberg in quality and rarity. 138 full-page hors-texte original prints (four per canto) byTom Phillips: about half are color etchings, about half are color silkscreens. In this copy, ALL OF THE PRINTS ARE INDIVIDUALLY SIGNED OR INITIALED IN PENCIL BY THE ARTIST. Edition limited to 180 copies. The justification, which is another full-page print, is also signed by Phillips. Beautifully printed on fine wove paper specially made for this edition. Large folio. Loose as issued in original silkscreened clamshell boxes. Minimal wear to boxes, else as new. An astonishing book.
