Experience The Iconic Art Of Master Photographer Peter Lik. Here are Peter’s words about Guardian: San Francisco, California I was up at the Marin Headlands shooting panoramic images of the twilight city skyline, when I noticed the possibility of an unusual composition. Changing to my Canon, I focussed on one pylon of the Golden Gate Bridge using it as the focal point of my image. The Transamerica pyramid was framed perfectly in the centre of a turret of the bridge, and I knew the 300mm lens would really compress the perspective of the shot. I bracketed a series of exposures and when I saw the results I was delighted. The long exposure really saturated the colours and makes the entire image glow, and the bridge is transformed into the imposing guardian of the distant city skyline. The image takes on an incredibly graphic quality, and is one of my absolute favourite San Francisco shots. We have several Peter Lik pieces available for sale. Check out our other listings.

The Sting of the Wasp. [political and satirical cartoons]. [1967] limited printing; Book Club of California; near fine folio hardcover with acetate jacket. This edition was limited to 450 copies, of which this is apparently Copy 1. There is laid in the publisher’s broadside insert with prospectus and full page color illustration. Also laid in is a small cardstock typed note: BCC – #127 / Copy #1. The card is aged appropriately and was obviously produced with a typewriter. Pretty cool, to be honest. The WASP was a San Francisco weekly periodical that began publication in the mid-1870’s and ran until the 1940’s. The paper was known for its satire and outrageous illustrations. The present volume (printed in 1967) is a celebration of the Wasp’s imagination. It contains twenty full-page lithographs from the celebrated San Francisco weekly. The book is tight/square, tidy, unmarked, and crisp. Acetate jacket is very good, with some mild rubbing and edgewear. An entertaining and compelling volume for the art enthusiast and/or book collector, collector of Western Americana. The potential #1 status makes it all the more intriguing. Thanks for visiting Forgotten Lore. This item is in the category “Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible”. The seller is “forgotten.lore.bookshop” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
