With a signed photograph from the set of 'The Misfits'. The deluxe edition with a signed photograph of Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Arthur Miller, John Huston and others on the set of The Misfits in Reno, Nevada, in 1960. Elliott Erwitt, born Elio Romano Erwitz in 1928 in Paris to Russian parents, was one of nine Magnum photographers given exclusive access by the film's producers as part of their marketing strategy. For this book, Erwitt chose a broad selection of work from throughout his career, writing in his introduction:

'This book is the whole story. My Personal work is not going to change radically. I'm almost sixty, and have been taking pictures since I was sixteen; mathematically, there's no time for big changes. I'll take some more pictures, but the symmetry is already there. It all reflects a certain way of seeing and feeling. That's what I hope. That's very important to me.'

First edition, number 91 of 150 slipcased copies, signed and numbered by Erwitt on the limitation page with a gelatin silver photograph laid in (sheet: 252 x 202 mm (8 x 10 in); image: 162 x 190 mm (6½ x 7½ in), printed c.1988) signed in black ink in lower margin; 4to (284 x 248 mm, 11 ½ x 9 ¾ in); black-and-white photographs by Elliott Erwitt, printed in offset; red cloth-covered boards, titles stamped to spine in gold, fine in the publisher's near-fine red cloth board slipcase with minor shelfwear; [ii], 255, [1]pp.
