Created exclusively for "Silent Portraits", a project involving Italian photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri, who shot on Polaroid a series of black and white photos, mostly all portraits, of the inhabitants of the nation of Seychelles. The book and photographs together make up this project, and was published by Garzanti Editore S.p.A. in 1984.

The book has a clothbound hardback cover that measures an 15.5 inches horizontally and 12 inches vertically. It is 132 pages in length, filled with images on glossy paper. The foreword is presented in both French and English.

The music was meant to be played while looking at the photos.

So difficult to find!!!

Apart from the difficulty of finding this wonderful work of art for the limited number of copies (only 600), when one appears on the market it does so at exorbitant prices.

An added attraction for the fans of the composer Vangelis is the original LP, limited as the book to 600 copies, which in this case is in perfect conditions.

In this moment no-one in Ebay.

VERY VERY RARE.

The shipping costs are high since it is a large and heavy package, and it is shipped with insurance.
