A 22’-wide Folding Folio on K2!
A unique, folding, pictorial presentation of the history of K2 from its earliest discovery through the first ascent in 1954. This visually impressive work stands 19” high by 12” wide (22’ wide when unfolded) and comes in a slipcase. I was pleased to be able to provide some of the photos for the 1938 expedition. Winner of the ITAS Best Narrative for Children prize at the 2019 Trento Film Festival. (I don’t believe this was developed as a children’s book.) In Italian, no English translation.
