George Tice

(New Jersey: self-published, 1969, an edition of 50), a portfolio of 12 photographs, each mounted, blindstamped on the mount, and numbered in pencil on the reverse, 1964-5, printed in 1969; together with the printed title, signed and editioned '50' in ink, plate list, colophon, and photographer's statement. Small folio, silver-stamped black cloth portfolio

These photographs are in generally excellent condition. They are mounted to heavy wove paper with precise hand-ruled ink borders. There is occasional very minor soiling on the mounts. Half of the title page is darkened, possibly due to contact with the interior of the folio. There is foxing overall on the rear of the cloth-covered portfolio case. The plates are as follows: Tree # 1, New York, 1964 Tree # 4, New Jersey, 1964 Tree # 8, New Jersey, 1964 Tree # 10, New Jersey, 1964 Tree # 12, New York, 1965 Tree # 17, New Jersey, 1965 Tree # 14, New York, 1965 Tree # 15, Pennsylvania, 1965 Tree # 28, California, 1965 Tree # 19, California, 1965 Tree # 22, California, 1965 Tree # 21, New York, 1965
