Trajes De Guatemala; Tomo I
Guatemala City. Guatemala: B. Zadik y Cia, [1952]. First Edition. Folio. 46cm. Publisher's brown card portfolio printed in red to both sides, containing the six full color lithographs and explicatory text sheet as issued. Some toning to the edges of the portfolio, a little cosmetic scuffing and some mild creasing to corners; internally clean, fresh, and visually striking. A very good example.
A visually glorious celebration by US graphic artist Crocker of the traditional clothing of the peoples of Guatemala, depicting the regions of Coban, San Antonio Aguas Calientes, San Martin Chile Verde, Santiago Atitlan, Solola and Todos Santos, with an explanatory sheet explaining their significance. Commisioned, produced, and distributed by the house of Zadik in Guatemala City, who specialized in celebrations of indigenous culture, art, and architecture, and perhaps best known for their vivid collections of color postcards, often utilizing the work of women photographers.
