Arizona regular edition
A two week trip around Arizona in spring 2023 inspired the creation of this book. Setting off from San Diego, California, we arrived at Yuma, just inside the state border of Arizona. Then onto Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon and beyond. Arizona is a vibrant tapestry of desert vistas, towering red rocks, deep canyons, and lush forests. Twenty six paintings represent my first impressions of the overpowering and ancient beauty of the State. The text similarly reflects first impressions, but of the early settlers, collected in a “History of Arizona” by the historian Thomas Edwin Farish, published in 1914.
The regular edition of 75 copies is casebound with a red leather quarter binding and printed cloth boards with a pattern inspired by an Indian Chiefs blanket. The slipcase is laminated with a cactus pattern printed onto Brillianta cloth
