Illustrations after photographs by Man Ray throughout. 4to. original wrappers spiral bound preserved in a recent linen cloth box. Hartford: James Thrall Soby n.d. First Edition stated second edition on title-page but only one edition was in fact published. An exceptional copy of the classic compilation of Man Ray's work Inscribed by Man Ray to Chilean photographer Jorge Opazo. In addition to the text by Breton there are contributions by Paul Eluard Rose Selavy Marcel Duchamp and Tristan Tzara. Man Ray himself provided an introduction and Picasso a portrait of Man Ray. The tendency of the spiral bindings to disintigrate have made this a scarce book and in this copy the spiral binding is still intact. There is slight soiling to the rear cover which is white and a few insignificant internal marks which in no way detract from the desirability of this copy.

1948119735Beverly Hills CA: Copley Galleries 1948. First Edition. First Edition. One of 500 copies issued. INSCRIBED by the author and artist on the front endpaper: "For Charlotte Bebe and Louis Barron. Cordially Man Ray Hollywood 1949." An exceptional avant-garde association and in one of the strangest alphabet books ever published. <br/><br/>Around this time the Barrons were beginning to experiment with committing electronic sounds as music to magnetic tape and were ultimately not only pioneers in that field inventors. One year after the date of this inscription they would compose their first piece "Heavenly Menagerie" and they would go on to produce the first electronic film score for the seminal 1956 science fiction film "Forbidden Planet" credited as "tonalities" rather than "music" at the time due to union rules. The Barrons' earliest compositions were slow and laborious as their early work preceded the digital age and involved building circuits and tape splicing to create even the smallest sequences of sound. In the decades that followed electronic composition has become a worldwide phenomenon in every musical category. A tremendous association between pioneers in two major fields of twentieth century artistic endeavor.<br/><br/>Near Fine in illustrated cloth covered boards with no dust jacket as issued.
