GRINDAT (Henriette) — FAVROD (Charles-Henri) THE NILE: From the Sources to the Sea, From the Pyramids to the Dams. Lausanne, La Guilde du Livre [Éditions Clairefontaine], 1960. In-4 (approx. 28.5 × 22.5 cm), 135 pp., publisher’s illustrated cloth binding, front cover featuring a photograph with the title in green, spine and back cover illustrated. Numerous black-and-white photographs by Henriette Grindat, reproduced primarily as heliogravures, some full-page or double-page spreads. Text by Charles-Henri Favrod, partly printed on green-tinted paper. La Guilde du Livre Collection, No. 356. First edition, published non-commercially for members of La Guilde du Livre, with an announced print run of 10,000 numbered copies. A major photographic album devoted to the Nile, tracing its course from its African sources through Egypt to the Mediterranean. In it, Henriette Grindat juxtaposes landscapes, people, monuments, and major modern engineering projects—particularly dams—in a series of images characteristic of her approach, which is both documentary and poetic. This volume is one of the photography books produced by Grindat for the Guilde du Livre, following, notably, *Algeria* and *The Mediterranean*. The edition is well-documented as having been published in 1960 and comprising 135 pages. Copy in its original photographic cardboard binding. Some scuffing, soiling, and signs of wear on the covers; minor wear and damage to the headbands and corners; interior appears well-preserved.
