FS - Karsh Book
For Sale - Karsh "Portraits of Greatness". This is the first of four very
definitive books of Karsh with the portraits printed in Sheet Fed Photogravure on a velvet like finish paper similar to Kodak Opal V paper that Karsh originally used. If these prints are mounted and framed, they would be almost indistinguishable from an original print. A pamphlet explaining the printing process and philosophy of the edge bound pages comes with the book. This book was originally published in 1959 and is printed in the Netherlands. This the second edition printed in 1960. It contains 96 portraits of, among others, Pablo Casals, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, Lawrence Olivier, George Bernard Shaw plus many others. The other books in this series contain only 48 portraits, so this one has double the value. The pages are edge bound so that they can easily be removed for framing. These books are becoming very rare and much sought after and usually sell in the $150 - $200 when available and is becoming more valuable since Karsh's recent passing. This copy is in excellent condition with Dust Cover, however, the dust cover is a bit ragged, there is some slight discoloring on the edges of some the pages. This does not affect the pictures in any way. There are many people now buying these books and selling off the individual portraits. This also makes these books more valuable. This book will be shipped by Insured Priority Post. If you are looking for this original Karsh publication, don't miss this one! Price is a modest $100.00 + $12.00 shipping within the US and Canada. Other countries may be more. If interested, please E-Mail me at and put "Karsh Book" in the subject line so that it is not mistaken for SPAM. |
