Up for sale is a classic piece of vintage art history. This is the 1981 trade paperback edition of "M.C. Escher: 29 Master Prints," beautifully published by the legendary art house Harry N. Abrams, Inc. This massive, oversized book showcases a stunning curation of the famous Dutch graphic artist's most iconic reality-bending works, complete with his surreal geometric tessellations and optical illusions.Because it is printed on a heavy-weight, deluxe paper stock with exceptional color accuracy and black-and-white detailing, this book is highly popular as a "poster book." Buyers often choose to frame the individual full-page plates to create a striking custom gallery wall.

Condition: Great vintage pre-owned condition. The book has been well-preserved over the decades. The exterior cardstock covers show light age-appropriate edge rubbing, corner shelf wear, and minor border toning, but the central imagery remains clean. The spine and glue binding are secure. Inside, the copyright page and all 29 master print plates are entirely crisp, flat, bright white, and in excellent cosmetic condition with no noticeable dog-ears, rips, foxing, or writing.
