Description
Beautiful signed and personally inscribed copy of Mistral: The Legendary Wind of Provence by photographer Rachel Cobb, published by Damiani. This large-format photography book is a poetic visual study of Provence’s famous mistral wind, capturing the invisible force of wind through its effects on leaves, vineyards, landscapes, architecture, fabric, and daily life.
This copy has an especially strong literary provenance: it was found with a group of books from Joan Didion’s collection, and the inscription on the title page appears to be addressed “For Joan.” That connection makes this more than a standard signed photography book; it becomes a compelling association copy linking Rachel Cobb’s Provence photography with one of the most important American literary voices of the late 20th century.
