Kodachrome is a pioneering work of colour photography. In the foreword, Ghirri writes, 'The meaning I try to give to my work is that of the verification of how it is still possible to wish to face the way of knowledge, to make it possible at last to tell the real identity of man, of thigs, of life, from the image of man, of things, of life... but above all as a search for identity in a reality which is often tragically absurd in its cruel and brutalizing pretences and surrogates, which appear in the present, but which do not forget the past... An examination of the world and its conventional representation, the limits of reality and imagination.'

First edition; 4to (271 × 210 mm, 10¾ x 8¼ in); colour photographs printed in offset, introduction by Piero Berengo Gardin and foreword by Luigi Ghirri, both in Italian and English, design by Paola Borgonzoni and Luigi Ghirri, minor toning to first illustrated page consistent with other copies we have seen; illustrated white wrappers, text in black, colour photograph and illustration, light toning, minor wear to extremities, shallow handling crease to rear corner, near-fine; 103, [1]pp.
