Artists’ Book of original colour photographs by Michael Prior, taken at a Lapidus fashion show, Juillet/July 1998; concertina of 23 photographs of models on the cat-walk clothed in Lapidus couture, the pictures mounted on heavy Fabriano paper (top edge untrimmed), the concertina attached to boards in pink and yellow handmade paper with pink and white title label to front; dimensions of photos 29 x 10cm, boards 38 x 18; extremely scarce, unrecorded in OCLC, no edition stated, so likely a unique item; Ted Lapidus began his fashion label in 1951, his son Oliver taking over in 1989 – this opulent Artists’ Book is a record of a late Lapidus show, the company ceasing the production of Haute Couture in 2000; handmade paper very lightly rubbed, o.w. Very Good and clean throughout.
