- Dimensions: 8.25" x 9.5" x .25"
- First published in 1972, Klaus and Elizabeth Gemming's Block Island Summer captures the ethos of this "sandy little place" in all of its charm and Victorian splendor.
- In black and white photographs, the book chronicles the island during the summers of the 1970's— idyllic, remote, stunningly beautiful. Lovers of Block Island will recognize many favorite vistas and structures (some changed, many still the same), and maybe even a familiar face or two.
- At once an ode to what makes this place so unique and a call for its preservation, this coveted volume belongs on the shelf of anyone who loves this little island, the New England coastline, and the simple joys of summertime.
- In collaboration with the Gemming estate, our studio is offering nine of the most iconic images from the book in a framed, limited edition giclée print series. Discover the complete collection here.
- This first edition book is in very good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age and use. Its dust jacket is protected in a plastic sleeve. Please see our detailed photos.
