First edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 21.5 × 15.5cm, 159pp.
From the library of British artist David Heathcote (b.1931), with his handwritten name to the ffep, with a note that it was given to him by Roger Cardinal. He studied at the Canterbury College of Art before completing his training at the Slade School of Fine Art in London under Keith Vaughan and Claude Rogers. Heathcote is a multi-disciplinary artist, including paintings, prints, and sculpture. His artistic style has been shaped by the twenty years which he spent living in Zimbabwe and Nigeria at the beginning of his career (his first solo exhibition was held in Zimbabwe in 1961). Other notable exhibitions and galleries include the Young Contemporaries Exhibition at the RBA Gallery in London in 1958, the Ahmadu Bello University and British Council Galleries in Nigeria, the Beckel Odille Boïcos Gallery in Paris, and at GV Art in London.
An illustrated study of the life and work of French fantasy film-maker Georges Melies, exploring, among other things, the phantasmagoria in Melies' 'theatre of spectacle' using the development of trick photography.
