Grey Cloth. Etat : Fair. No Jacket. Castro, Fernando Pereznieto - Drawings (illustrateur). Second Edition; Ltd to 1000 Cc. Grey Cloth. Fair/No Jacket. Second Edition; Ltd to 1000 Cc. Hardback. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. circa 90 pages; 38 full page views (explanatory page opposite) of old sites in Mexico City (churches, architectural details, etc.) by Fernando Pereznieto Castro; signed by the artist in red pen, #204 of 1000 copies; from the Foreword, by Carlos Pellicer: "The facade of the city has aspects which gives it a distict personality. This city, our city, is old--one thousand years old. European things here have an Indian air; three thousand years of intimate cultures. .The best traces of the city's face entered into the eyes and hands of Fernando Pereznieto and reach the paper with the emotion of one who loves and caresses. .He chooses angles full of beauty and his concept of light gives, sometimes, an idea of the color. For this young and noteworthy artist, drawing is his means of expression.in which stone, as a flower of stone, gives us historic well-being in rembrance, in reality." Book condition: Book condition suffers because of moderatly extensive internal damp staining of a very pale tan tone, originating from the endpapers, and mainllly in the margins. The cover on the outside is rather clean, but the inside covers have lighter (paler than the brown end-paper color) damp areas on the top and bottom edges. Subtle cover edge color changes can be seen opposite on the outer cover. Upper inside cover corner has in excess of 10 sq. inches of dampstaining, and a six inch long diagonal bend-crease shows where the corner has been bent. Damp staining is most extensive at the beginning of the book, covering about 1/3 of the pre-title and title page, and then decreaing in intensity to a very pale tone and is confined to the margins. Damp stains do not intrude on the images, but are in the margins. A price mark in black felt pen, appears on the upper corner of the front flyleaf, covers a circa 0.5 x 2.0 inch area. Signed by the Artist.
