3259 — Mazoe Rhodesia: Frank Read Press 1982. First Limited to 250 Copies. Half Leather. Near Fine. 218 pp. Elephant folio. A completely handmade book. Copy #9 of only 250. All presubscribed prior to publication. Following the enthusiastic reception and mountains of compliments garnered by the first tribute to Caldwell Frank Read Press did a second book this on the artist's work in general. There are fabulous illustrations of African game his watercolors are world renowned references notes information on his studio a bibliography of notes and references and a zoologist's appraisal of Caldwell's work. There are 44 full page colored plates of Caldwell's work each with a matching page of text. The quality of workmanship and materials has rarely been matched in bookmaking. Clearly this was a long labor of love for the Reeds and they made sure it would be a book that will long be remembered. Another fitting tribute to Caldwell's work. This copy has obviously neither been read nor changed hands often because it is in near fine condition in original red cloth over linin. Substantial additional postage. Frank Read Press unknown
