—THE PUBLISHER
• “Cassilhaus is honored to present an exhibition of imagery from one of North Carolina’s most loved and respected photographic artists, ELIZABETH MATHESON.UNCOMMON is an unexpected survey of images drawn from MATHESON’s fifty-year career ranging from her early vintage gelatin silver prints, to her stunning (and mostly unseen) self-portraits, and her contemporary large-scale color work. From Hillsborough to Havana, her ever-evolving, yet singular style rewards the patient viewer with an uncommon stillness, a sly humor, or a meditation on beauty and order. This exhibition is a not-to-be-missed deep dive into some of the most interesting corners of the life work of a treasured artist.”

• “MATHESON’s photographs are rich, serene, elegant, witty.”

—MAX HALPEREN

How We
GRADECONDITION
***********
DETAILS. The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.
FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized.
Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw.
It is also possible that we may miss some perfections!
Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.
GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability):
VERY FINE or LIKE NEW
FINE (or EXCELLENT)
NEAR FINE (or NF)
VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+)
VERY GOOD (or VG)
GOOD
FAIR
ACCEPTABLE
POOR
“POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”
RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil!
(*Get it?)
POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).
EXTRA VISUALS. Although we include multiple photographs in our listings, we usually have others we could share with you. (These extra photos also help to establish a paper-trial in the rare case that an item is damaged en route to you.)
***********
SHIPPING
