The Cats of Wildcat Hill. Edward Weston and Charis Wilson. Duell, Sloan and Pearce, New York, 1947. First edition. Oblong quarto. Original cloth. 90 pp.
Illustrated throughout with full-page halftone photographs by Edward Weston of his home five miles south of Carmel, California, and the cats that shared it. The Westons decided to host a "colony" of cats on their two acres, wanting to study their behavior as well as enjoy their company. A few of the images have been included in other books of his work, while others are less well known. An uncommon book.
A very good copy, with pale, spotty discoloration along lower edge of the covers and a few very minor spots of light soiling on back cover. |
