The Charlie Chaplin Archives — Paul Duncan (ed.), 2015, first edition with 12-frame film strip

A monumental excavation of cinema’s first global icon. Produced with unrestricted access to the Chaplin archives, this TASCHEN volume traces every film from the Keystone shorts to The Great Dictator and beyond. More than 900 images—stills, storyboards, scripts, production notes—reveal the precision behind the apparent spontaneity. The first edition includes an original 12-frame strip from City Lights (1931), transforming the book into both archive and artifact.
