A rare look behind the scenes of a book in progress. This prototype of 6 Blocks of Paradise by Raymond Adams offers a first glimpse at the images, stories and ideas that will be featured in the finished publication. It is a working version, created to explore layout, sequencing and visual rhythm.

Adams is known for capturing the beauty, grit and spirit of New York streets. This prototype carries that same energy, with photographs and text that feel immediate, vivid and full of life. For collectors, it is a unique object that represents the creative process in motion.

A special opportunity to own something that is both art and artifact, revealing how a book comes together before it reaches the world.
