IN A DESERT LAND: Photographs of Israel, Egypt, and Jordan
New York: Abbeville Press, 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed by Neil Folberg on the half-title. "In this large, heavy, and luxurious book of color photographs of the Near East, Folberg's focus is the natural beauty of the rugged landscape rather than political turmoil. The images, splendidly seen and reproduced, are grouped by region - Egypt, Sinai, Jordan, and Israel - with each group accompanied by an interesting narrative by the photographer. Annotations for the photographs, together with small black-and-white reproductions, occupy a 30-page addendum. Nitza Rosovsky, Harvard Semitic Museum curator, provides an illustrated essay on the history of photography of the area" (Library Journal). Features 182 full-color photographs, including several folding. Folio. Original blue cloth binding, with gilt and blind-stamped titles. Some fading along the bottom edge of the boards. The dust jacket is lightly sunned along the spine; else near fine. Near fine / Near fine. Item #77397
