Adolphe Sylvain - 12" x 9.75" x 7/8" - 160 pages - black & white photographs - Hardcover

Adolphe Sylvain (1920-1991) stopped off in Tahiti and enchanted by the beautiful landscape, welcoming people and a certain island beauty who called herself Tehani (whom he later married); he decided to stay. Sylvain's rich, skilled black-and-white images are like visions of an earthly paradise, peopled with half-clad women wearing flowers in their hair, the sun reflecting off of their glowing skin. His images capturing the timeless beauty of Tahiti, are a testament to the island's powerful magnetism. With these luscious, sensual images as evidence, it's not hard to see.
Many of the photographs fill the entire page and much of the text is in French and German.

This book is brand new. There are a few very minor scuffs to the paper jacket from shop wear.
Spine is not creased, pages are clean and corners sharp.
