This is a superb, virtually pristine copy. The maroon boards remain completely unworn, boasting sharply defined corners and immaculate silver spine lettering. The binding is exceptionally tight and square, indicating the volume is unread. Internally, the text block is bright, clean, and entirely free from foxing or previous ownership marks. The original dust jacket is equally impressive, unclipped and showing no signs of shelf-wear or edge creasing, perfectly preserving the striking cover art and the publisher's original 'Signed Copy' sticker on the front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: A highly desirable first edition, first impression (complete with the full 1-10 number line to the copyright page) of Max Porter's impressionistic portrayal of the dying Francis Bacon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThis particular copy is notably distinguished by the author's flat signature in black ink to the title page. Pristine, signed first printings of Porter's works are actively sought by collectors of contemporary British literature, making this an excellent addition to any modern fiction library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eIn this bold and luminous short work, Max Porter attempts to capture the explosive final workings of Francis Bacon's mind as the great painter lies on his deathbed in Madrid. Rather than a traditional biographical narrative, the text is conceived as seven extraordinary 'written pictures,' translating the visceral, tortured, and brilliant energy of Bacon's canvases into poetic and fragmented prose. It is a stunning literary tribute to one of the twentieth century's most uncompromising artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55598624473427,"sku":"6502","price":27.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261021_125110.jpg?v=1792926153","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-death-of-francis-bacon-max-porter-1st-edition-signed","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
