JOHN GOSSAGE: L A M F (LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER - THREE DAYS IN BERLIN) - SIGNED LIMITED EDITION WITH TWENTY-SEVEN ORIGINAL SILVER GELATIN PRINTS

(GOSSAGE, JOHN). Gossage, John. NP: Self-Published, 1987. First Edition 1/100. 8vo. Cloth in Newsprint Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. np (56pp), 27 b&w illustrations. Text in English. John Gossage's self-published "L A M F" contains twenty-seven noir-ish details of some seedier neighborhoods of Berlin and its environs photographed over three days in 1987. These views are presented as individual silver gelatin prints mounted on pages of heavy archival stock, with no two books exactly alike. Each dust jacket is a unique remnant from a German newspaper (this is from "Der Tages Spiegel") stamped L A M F in red ink and enclosed in an acetate dustwrapper. The half title page is hand lettered by the photographer on a scrap of paper tipped to the first preliminary, and there is a unique, sealed hand-written letter from Gossage posted from Berlin to himself in Washington, DC affixed to the third preliminary. A most handsome example of the exceedingly uncommon first and only edition (cited on page 148 of "From Fair to Fine 3") limited to one hundred copies NUMBERED (56/100) AND BOLDLY SIGNED "John Gossage" in blue ink, as issued. Inventory Number: 022703
