FIRST EDITION. WITH A VINTAGE GELATIN SILVER PRINT OF LUCYBELLE CRATER WITH PUBLISHER JONATHAN WILLIAMS. A RARE PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED: "For my dear friend Helen from 'Lucybelle Crater'" [ie. Madelyn Meatyard]; and further inscribed at a later date: "For Gene from his publishers. Jonathan Williams. Highlands, 9-19-05".
