Bravo – Pjerrot. Photos: Jesper Høm – Text: Jytte Hauch-Fausbøll (Tivoli Copenhagen). Copenhagen, Rhodos, 1965. Oblong 12mo (11 x 18,5 cm). Original photoillustrated wrappers as issued in the original slipcase. 176 pp. Illustrated throughout with photos by Jesper Høm. Text in both English and Danish. Map of tivoli at end is missing and crease to spine, else overall a well preserved and very good and clean copy of this fragile and scarce item
Offered here is the uncommon, extremely hard-to-find true first edition published in wraps. A much more common second edition came (1966) as hardcover, disregarding this also being a ‘flip-book’. Largely unknown, very special book on the amusement park ‘Tivoli’ in Copenhagen. A very fine photo book profusedly illustrated with Jesper Høms excellent photographies, among them some of his most famous, AND a ‘flip book’ t.i a book with a series of pages where each page shows a slightly different phase of a motion, in this case ‘Pjerrot’ : ‘Flick your thomb from page 176 – and see the Pierrot Film’ as it says on the inner cover. It is one the best and most well executed Danish photobooks from the period with some of the best photography also. First edition. Very rare, especially with slipcase
