A Wonderful Time by Slim Aarons: 1974 True 1st Edition in Excellent Condition

Description: Free eBay listing template designed by dewiso.com A Wonderful Time: An intimate portrait of the good life Slim Aarons For much of American history, wealth has been concentrated in a small segment of society, and many of those termed "new money" only began to emerge following the business boom of the 1980s. In the decades that preceded that shift, dozens of familiar names dominated high society: the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, the Fords, and more. Their lives remained hidden from public view in many cases, but one man managed to gain unprecedented access to that world.Slim Aarons, a photographer who earned a Purple Heart in World War II, eventually took hundreds of photos of the wealthy and powerful. His subjects trusted him far more than the emerging paparazzi, enabling him to snap candid images that made him famous. (Visit his page on the International Fine Arts Consortium to get a sense of just how much of an impact he made and how extensive his portfolio became: https://www.ifacarts.com/artist/slim-aarons) Much of his early is captured in his first book, A Wonderful Time, released in 1974. It showcases dozens upon dozens of his most famous photos up to that time, including shots of Marilyn Monroe, Truman Capote, Howard Hughes, Clark Gable, John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and many more.This particular copy is a true first edition, and it's in remarkably good shape for being 50 years old as detailed in the Condition Description. Even worn, beaten copies often demand hundreds of dollars, making this a chance to get it in superb condition at a lower price than comparable ones.
