(Fitzgerald, Vincent & Co.) Kondoleon, Harry. THE COTE D'AZUR TRIANGLE.
New York Vincent FitzGerald & Co. 1985 12 x 14 cloth of vibrant yellow, with title stamped in blue within a red triangle on front cover, housed in black clamshell box by Charriere. Not paginated.
Signed, Limited Edition, one of 125 copies only on Rives BFK, all signed by the author and artist, hand set in Janson, lithographs and etchings pulled by the Printmaking Workshop of Bob Blackburn. Bound by Gerard Charriere. In this play by Harry Kondoleon, "A woman, her husband, and her husband's lover go up and down the Riviera only to be disappointed by the Riviera. The dullness of the Cote D'Azur reveals to these Americans the dullness and impossibility of love...they tire of one another and pursue sex partners at random until they are attacked and consumed by sea dragons." Mark Beard's brilliant illustrations of these "two-dimensional and ironic" characters, in their bathing suits and sunglasses, in saturated primary colors and his flat presentation, are overwhelming in their impact of the characters' vapidity. With such illustrations as Greek temple caryatids folding out to reveal the Cote d'Azur and paper doll players, Beard's art inexpressibly moves the viewer to realize the inevitable crush of the dragon of these pitiable self-centered creatures. A brilliant mixture of wit and irony with difficult and innovative printmaking techniques producing prints with highly unusual textures, especially in the final fold out, which has an effect of great richness and mystery.

Limited to 360 numbered copies (Cock-a-hoop 189). A simple love tale illustrated with 8 aquatints by John Buckland-Wright. Printed on Arnold's mould-made paper in Caslon's Old Face type. Cock-A-Hoop- "A simple tale, as evanescent as the scent of wild thyme, into which Phyllis Hartnoll wove the mingled ecstasy and heart-break of young lover..." Exceptionally suited to illustration, the tale inspired John Buckland-Wright to create a series of large and brilliant copper engravings combined experimentally with aquatint." However, Cave and Manson state in A History of The Golden Cockerel Press 1920-1960 (see pages 202-203) that Sanford "decided to cut expenditure by substituting collotype reproductions instead of intaglio prints in ordinary copies...though 'special' copies still had a set of the prints printed intaglio." Very fine copy.
