MARCIA HAFIF: POMONA HOUSES
(HAFIF, MARCIA). Hafif, Marcia. NP. ND (1972).: Mother Lode Editions. First Edition. 12mo. Stapled Printed Wrappers. Artist's Book. Very Good.. np (114pp), 45 b&w illustrations. In a protective clear acetate dustwrapper. Published in 1972 with no knowledge of Ed Ruscha's small photo books of architectural typologies endemic to the Southern California landscape, Marcia Hafif's "Pomona Houses" pays uncannily similar homage to the disappearing wooden framed, peaked roofed houses of her grandmother's residential neighborhood. An internally bright, handsome example of this charming rarity (cited on page 284 of Jeffrey Brouws, Wendy Burton and Hermann Zschiegner's "Various Small Books: Referencing Various Small Books by Ed Ruscha") showing some typical age-toning along the spine. It has been priced accordingly. Inventory Number: 025840
