The volume remains structurally sound and tightly bound, with a firm, uncreased spine indicating that it has seen careful reading or minimal use. However, the white pictorial wrappers exhibit noticeable and widespread foxing, accompanied by mild surface rubbing and light edge-wear typical of a paperback of this vintage. The corners present minor bumping. Internally, the preliminary pages, including the inscribed half-title page, display moderate scattered foxing that occasionally encroaches into the margins. The main body of the text block, however, remains bright, clean, and free of significant blemishes, perfectly preserving the sharp contrast of Scarfe’s vibrant and chaotic illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a first edition trade paperback of Gerald Scarfe’s mid-career retrospective.

Featuring nearly two hundred of his most ferocious caricatures, ranging from merciless political takedowns of the 1960s and 70s to his nightmarish animations for Pink Floyd, this volume provides an exhilarating journey through the mind of a modern master of the grotesque. With an autobiographical introduction by the artist himself, it stands as an essential, visceral chronicle of visual dissent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55257793331539,"sku":"5998","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261007_114755.jpg?v=1791449814","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/gerald-scarfe-gerald-scarfe-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
