Valparaíso: Universidad Católica de Valparaíso : Ediciones Universitarias de Valparaíso, 1984. First Edition. White wraps with blue text and die-cut star showing red and tan illustration on page behind; 124 pages, 7 unnumbered leaves of plates: illustrations (some color); folded leaf tipped in; 20 cm Very good. Wraps have some wear and creasing to extremities and around die cut; pages are clean though glue has weakened and 5-6 pages are loose or detached; folded illustration at rear is glued shut but appears to be crisp (could be opened with careful use of a razor). Paperback.
Uncommon. 3,000 copies printed. A fascinating, well-illustrated study of the iconography and emblems of Chile as it gained independence and national identity. Cosmic in scope!
