Beautiful Christmas Cards, de Alexandra Adami

Editora: TeNeues

ISBN: 978-3-8327-9093-6

Opinião: ★☆☆☆☆

Páginas: 162

Sinopse: Taken from the personal collection of Alexandra Adami, which she painstakingly assembled over 10 years, this magnificent selection showcases 60 of the most magical Christmas cards, all distinguished by their originality and creativity and sent by famous, prominent and lesser-known families. It’s said that Christmas brings out the child in all of us, so it's appropriate that many cards feature little ones enjoying this special holiday. And, in true Christmas spirit, part of the proceeds from this wonderful book will be donated to the CLIC Sargent Center- Caring for Children with Cancer.

Introduced by Lady Helen Taylor, daughter of the Duke of Kent, this ideal Christmas present is a touching evocation of the seasonal spirit.

Includes 60 of the finest examples of Christmas art from Europe and America. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Clic-Sargent Center for Cancer Care.



Comentário: Não consegui reproduzir as fotografias, mas destaco as das páginas 36, 44, 50, 54, 80, 82, 92.

Na página 122, há o quadro “Night Festival at San Pietro di Castello”, que reproduzo abaixo (no livro a figura encontra-se mais bela do que as que encontrei na internet).

 


 

Por fim, não poderia deixar de mencionar: nas 162 páginas do livro contei 87 fotografias com 181 pessoas diferentes. Todas são brancas. Lamentável homogeneização.
