1990 Crow and Weasel, Barry Lopez, Hardcover. Illustrated by Tom Pohrt. Measures about 11.75" by 9.25"63 pages. Very good condition. Has dust cover.
This 1990 first edition of "Crow and Weasel" by Barry Lopez is a breathtaking fusion of sophisticated storytelling and atmospheric art. Spanning 63 pages in an oversized format, the book presents a fable-like journey that explores themes of friendship, respect for the land, and the importance of story. The illustrations by Tom Pohrt are remarkable for their historical research and meticulous detail, portraying animal characters in highly detailed, traditional Northern Plains-inspired attire. The visual style is subdued and respectful, favoring a naturalistic palette that captures the quiet majesty of the North American wilderness.
The book is in very good condition and retains its original dust jacket, preserving the integrity of the delicate cover art. Its large dimensions make it an impressive display piece for a collector of modern fables or high-end illustrative art. The aesthetic of this volume leans heavily into "New Western" or "Rustic Minimalism," making it a perfect addition to a home library featuring natural wood elements, woven textiles, and botanical prints. Unlike more whimsical children's books, "Crow and Weasel" carries a weight of wisdom and artistic maturity that appeals to adults and young readers alike, serving as a beautiful artifact of nineties literary craftsmanship.
