Gathered from flea markets, dealers and eBay, these images have been acquired, exhibited and included in a range of major museum publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.5 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 23, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47348551483641,"sku":"9780999265512","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/anFVMWxnZTRWV0RsN0ZIMEtvcWc3QT09_ce20e4c3-6d43-42fc-9347-c09eb7a43187.webp?v=1769774641","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/voyagers-paperback-4","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
