Mexico City 1966 (special reprint edition)Printed book, illustrated
Provenance: Collection of Jean Charlot, Honolulu.
Daniel Thomas Egerton was a British artist who traveled extensively in Mexico between 1830 and 1840, producing a body of landscape and topographical work that remains among the most significant visual records of Mexico in that period. This 1966 special reprint edition was published in Mexico City and reproduces Egerton's views with accompanying text. Jean Charlot, from whose collection this copy comes, was a French-Mexican artist and art historian long associated with the Mexican muralist movement, who later settled in Honolulu and built one of the most important scholarly collections related to Mexican art.
This copy is signed, adding documentation of its association with Charlot's collection. The plates visible in the photographs include Egerton's characteristic atmospheric landscape compositions rendered in the lithographic tradition of the period. Condition appears consistent with age and careful keeping.
