Up for auction is a rare and highly collectible treasure for cinephiles, art enthusiasts, and photography collectors: The out-of-print special edition of the photography monograph "Pictures Volume Two" (published October 15, 2019, by powerHouse Books). This masterpiece features an authentic, original hand-signature by Jeff Bridges on the title page.

About the Artist & Artwork:
Hollywood icon and Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart, True Grit) is not only celebrated for his acting, but is also an accomplished author, painter, illustrator, and photographer. He has nurtured a lifelong passion for analog photography, documenting decades of cinema history from an insider's perspective.

The Magic of the Widelux Camera:
Bridges captures life on set using a legendary Widelux camera. This mechanical, swinging-lens panoramic camera lacks a traditional shutter. Instead, it exposes the film through a vertical slit as the lens rotates, capturing an ultra-wide 140-degree field of view. The resulting aspect ratio mirrors that of 70mm cinematic film. These black-and-white images are profoundly cinematic, spatial, and capture raw, unscripted moments between takes.

Exclusive Edition Details:

Limitation: Strictly limited special edition of only 1,000 copies worldwide.Signature: Original in-book signature by Jeff Bridges on the publisher's dedicated page (no bookplate!).

Certificate of Authenticity (COA): Included is the original, official COA from Premiere Collectibles (America's largest autographed book store) featuring an embossed gold seal. This guarantees the absolute authenticity of the signature.Format: Premium large-format hardcover, 208 pages, exquisite print quality.

Condition:
Sourced from a meticulously maintained private collection and handled with the utmost care. The book is in excellent, near-mint condition. Due to the long overseas shipping from the US to Europe, there is a very minor, barely noticeable bump to one corner of the hardcover. This is only apparent upon closest inspection and does not impact the stunning overall presentation of this investment-grade volume. It is an honest, carefully protected collector's piece.
