Book Description

Goolwa, South Australia : Dolphin Studios , 1990. An artistically striking, 22 inch oblong elephant folio, unusued and as new, in original dark red decorative slipcase. Full brown and tan leather, with decorative endpapers, copy number 20 of a limited edition of 50. The introduction gives the explanation for the choice of title: the head of the old oligarchy (The Doge), and the forests and lagoon (The Dolphin) that captured the interests of the aerial cartographers. The first etching is a waterside view of the Doge's palace. All 34 etchings have the original tissue guards, along with their individual explanations. The artist was trained as an architect; his wife was the intaglio printer in charge of the etching production. The paper is heavy, acid-free stock. There is a full list of specifications, some bibliographical references, and a glossary. In addition to the palace, there are numerous views of various buildings, waterways, gondolas, etc. . Signed by Author. Limited/Numbered. Full-Leather. As New.
