Aphrodite

This first German edition of 'Aphrodite' was published in 1963 by Ernst Battenberg Verlag in Stuttgart. The work features a collection of high-quality photographs taken by the renowned French art photographer Lucien Clergue, primarily captured between the mid-1950s and early 1960s along the coast of Camargue. The book is presented as part of the 'Panorama Forces Vives' series and includes texts by the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. It is a square quarto (4°) format, typically bound in original cloth with an illustrated slipcase. The publication is noted for its artistic composition, blending Clergue's mastery of light and form with Lorca's evocative literary style.
