Numbered 62 of a limited edition of 100 copies. In French and English. The book was designed by the Rev Father O'Reilly then Secretary General of the Societe Oceaniste. A beautiful book. A frontis woodcut of the Dolphin leaving Matavai Bay Tahiti from a maquette by the artist Rene Dessirier. This is signed by him. It is in wonderfully fresh condition. Precious little is known about Richardson or how - other than through a spirit of adventure and romance - came to be on the Dolphin. Certainly the poem is considered to be the first work of creative art inspired by Tahiti. Printed on laid paper. Binding is pleasingly stitched. The book is housed in a marbled board slipcase and portfolio-style casing. The slipcase has some wear tanning and scuffing about the edges faces. It is sturdy and sure. The casing is fresh neat unblemished elegant. The book's card covers are simple chic. They have some very little wear about the edges. Otherwise they are tidy and assured. The contents are exceptionally gratifying. They are very clean very clear fresh-faced very healthy and confidently engaging - as if new throughout! Just lovely. fk.

Wikipedia. "Dieter Wagner geboren 1941; gestorben 2004 in Berlin war ein deutscher Drucker Buchgestalter und Verleger. Er ist der Begründer des bibliophilen Kleinverlags Edition Dieter Wagner Berlin. Dieter Wagner war ein gelernter Drucker. In den frühen 1960er Jahren kamen neue Drucktechniken auf z. B. der Offsetdruck. Die alten Bleilettern waren dadurch überflüssig geworden und lagen auf den Werks-Höfen zur Abholung durch Schrotthändler oder die Müllabfuhr herum. Daneben lagen Papierreste und Makulatur. Er begann ab 1963 das Geeignete einzusammeln und damit nach Feierabend zu experimentieren. 1971 kam er nach West-Berlin wo er den legendären Victor Otto Stomps kennenlernte der ziemlich genau 40 Jahre vorher ebenfalls aus Druckerei-Abfällen und ungewöhnlichen Materialien sehr originelle Druckwerke herausgegeben hatte. Stomps starb allerdings schon 1970. In Berlin betreute Wagner unter anderem die Editionen des APO-Verlags Oberbaum-Verlag denen er ein ansprechendes Äußeres gab. Ab 1979 arbeitete er als Offsetmontierer in der Druckerei Gerike die ihn ab 1980 dabei unterstützte auch eigene Bücher in kleiner Auflage herauszubringen. Neben Vauo Stomps waren die Druckexperimente von Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman und Franz Mon seine Vorbilder. 1985 verlieh ihm die Stadt Mainz den renommierten Victor Otto Stomps-Preis. Bis 1989 Redaktionsschluss Spindler erschienen 30 originell gestaltete Bücher in Kleinauflagen." Wikipedia. - Weitere Bilder auf Anfrage oder auf unserer Homepage. Edition Dieter Wagner hardcover
