  • Sloane, Eric:  Recollections in Black and White.  New York: Walker and Company, 1974. First Edition, First printing. Fine in white paper covered boards with black text on the spine and a reproduction of Eric Sloane's signature on the front board. In a very good+ dust jacket due to a 2" long closed tear with related creases on the rear panel & a 1" closed tear on the rear panel and two smaller closed tears on the front panel. This edition preceded the more widely seen edition by Funk & Wagnals distributed in 1978. The intent of this book is to memorialize "the oldest and most profound medium of human communication - black lines on a white paper background." In anticipation of doing a book like this, for many years Sloane set aside many of his pen and ink drawings which together in this format provide an autobiographic reverie of this artist/author's life. A great many of the illustrations which appear in this 64 page book are architectural in nature showing barns, sheds, stone fences, covered bridges, toll houses, awning details, all of which serve to graphically explain the use of "shapes of shadow and shapes of light."
