Description
YAMAGATA, Hiro; PUSY LA FAYETTE, Gilbert de and VILLON, André-François. Those words that bind. [Celebrating two centuries of American constitutional democracy]. Cyril Viguier and Great Events Editions, France, 1987. In-4 (37 x 27.5 cm), publisher’s binding, full leather with a portrait of George Washington in relief on the upper cover, created by Hiro Yamagata; the author’s signature stamped and gilded on the lower cover. 215 pp. A luxurious publication commemorating the bicentenary of the ratification of the US Constitution in 1787. Limited edition of 555 numbered copies on Arches paper. This is one of the 200 additional copies reserved for US embassies, numbered from E1 to E200. This copy bears the number E89 and is signed by Gilbert de Pusy La Fayette on the colophon. It does not include the Hiro Yamagata lithograph as advertised, but we do have an original Indian ink drawing, signed by the artist and dated 1987 (a portrait of George Washington which was used to illustrate the front cover). An internationally renowned artist, Hiro Yamagata has notably created works for the 1984 Olympic Games, the centenary of the Statue of Liberty in 1983 and that of the Eiffel Tower in 1988. A very fine copy.
