SIGNED Presentation Copy in excellent condition internally and externally of the author's important 1962 novel now reissued WITH HER INTRODUCTION a near-decade later. <br/><br/>From my experience Lessing didn't like to sign copies of her works and signed copies of this her most noteworthy work are Scarce. The persona I knew tended to be hardheaded diffident and a bit crusty though she made the rounds on behalf of her publisher a few years before her death when I was fortunately able and very pleased to speak with her briefly and to obtain her signature.<br/><br/>According to Elizabeth Hardwick "The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing's most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women"--The New York Times Book Review.<br/><br/>A tight bright clean copy. Dust jacket has a bit of rubbing at extremities; Random House remainder stamp on bottom of pages. Simon and Schuster hardcover

1078-19Wien 1954. Giclée-Druck Iris-Print. 22 x 34 cm. Bildausschn. Eines von 30 eigenh. numerierten und vom Künstler signierten Exemplaren. Die Herstellung von Giclée-Drucken oder Iris Fine Art Prints ist ein in den USA entwickeltes digitales Ausgabeverfahren das auf einer hoch entwickelten Tintenstrahldruckertechnologie beruht. Das Besondere an diesem Druckverfahren ist dass es einen mit freiem Auge nicht erkennbaren Druckpunkteaufbau hat. Diese extrem feine Auflösung ist Voraussetzung für die detailgenaue und brillante Wiedergabe von Bildern. Die Druckqualität der digitalen Technik ist heute so hervorragend dass Giclée-Drucke bereits in Museen und Galerien hängen und renommierte internationale Künstler wie Chuck Close Jim Dine David Hockney oder Robert Rauschenberg diese Technik verwenden. - Erich Lessing 1923-2018 flüchtete 1939 nach Palästina kehrte 1947 nach Österreich zurück und wurde Photoreporter bei der amerikanischen Nachrichtenagentur Associated Press.

Die ganze Musik des Waisenchors bey dem Hochamte wurde von dem 12jährigen Söhnlein des in salzburgischen Diensten stehenden Kapellmeisters Leopold Mozart zu dieser Feyerlichkeit ganz neu verfasset mit der grössten Richtigkeit dirigiret und nebst deme auch die Moteten gesungen "Goethe zu Eckermann 1830: "Ich habe Mozart als siebenjährigen Knaben gesehenm wo er auf einer Durchreise ein Konzert gab. Ich selber war etwa vierzehn Jahre alt und ich erinner mich des kleinen Mannes in seiner Frisur und Degen noch ganz deutlich." - Organ loft in the Church of the Orphanage Vienna where Mozart aged 12 conducted a mass he had composed. Lessing bezeichnete seine erzählenden Farbserien Evokationen welche die Lebensstationen bekannter Künstler und Wissenschafter darstellen.
