Gouverneur/Khaled Azzam (Author), Mohamed Zakariya , Haajar
Doors of the Kingdom
New York: Aperture 1998. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright unclipped dust jacket. 96 pages color photographs Like new in publisher's shrinkwrap. Doors of the Kingdom is a unique collection of photographs depicting the ancient and disappearing craft of doormaking in Arabia. The Islamic concept of hurma or sanctity of a place of dwelling or worship is recurrent throughout Arabic poetry and literature. The door bab preserver of sanctity becomes symbolic of the boundary between public and private space and between the profane and the sacred. In 1995 Haajar Gouverneur traveled throughout the Arabian Peninsula photographing each region's distinctive doorways and the remaining artisans who make them. The doors of Arabia painstakingly hand-carved from the wood of the Al-Athel trees last in their exquisite variety for hundreds of years. This ancient craft passed down from generation to generation in the central and northern regions of Saudi Arabia is now nearly extinct. Modern materials technology and changing priorities threaten the continuity of the sacred and artisanal tradition of doormaking. Record # 404416 Aperture hardcover

New Haven: Mercatorfonds 2014. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 224 pages. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. The flourishing of photography as a medium in the mid-19th century coincided with a rise in curiosity about China on the part of the Western world. As the number of foreigners living and traveling in China increased early photographs of China were taken by and for an international audience. Among the Celestials assembles 250 fascinating images of China in the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th captured by the Western camera lens. The photographs portray the gritty side of the country as well as stunning views of palaces temples harbors and gardens. This juxtaposition of the sordid and the serene provides a multidimensional picture of China’s physical and social landscape before Mao Zedong’s ascent to power changed the country forever. The photographs many published here for the first time are both beautiful and moving and together offer a new understanding of a social and cultural history associated with a time of significant historical change.

NY: Quantuck Lane Press 2005. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 456 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Clean unmarked copy with tear on front dust jacket and light wear to edges. Erich Lessing is a legend in photography. Born in 1923 in Vienna he became a photo-reporter for Associated Press in 1947 and in 1951 he became one of the earliest members of the legendary Magnum photo cooperative. His remarkable 1950s images documenting post-World War Europe and particularly his pictures of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution garnered worldwide admiration. Lessing's works always revolve around the human condition at the moment when power and powerlessness come face to face when the joy of living is suddnely overclouded with pain. His photographs seize the opportunity to recount an instant of history that will never be repeated. This monumental book is a tribute to Lessing's talent as a photojournalist and a visual record of a time of turmoil and great change. Lessing has received international honors including the American Art Directors' Award the Grand Austrian State Prize for Artistic Photography and many others. 400 duotone photographs.

McKell, Iain
New Gypsies The
US: Prestel 2014. 1st. Softcover. Very Good/None. 128 pages. Softover. Clean unmarked copy with only minor wear to wrappers. Like new in publisher's shrink-wrap. Photographer Iain McKell offers an extraordinary and breathtakingly beautiful glimpse into the lives of a real and raw group of present-day nomads whose culture is built around ideals of freedom nature and simplicity. Historically despised the new gypsies are there by choice not heritage. Unrelated to the Roma the movement began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travellers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe - the new gypsies - present-day rural anarchists living the subversive lifestyle in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans. Known as 'Horse-drawn' the new gypsies share a desire for sustainability a love of self-reliance and a disdain for the trappings of contemporary life. For more than a decade McKell has focused his lens on travellers of all ages: parents children couples and loners. With sensitivity and honesty he captures a way of life that seems at once romantic strange beautiful and simple. The result is a deeply insightful portrayal of a culture that eschews the traditional creature comforts of urban life in favour of the simplicity and freedom of the natural world.

Abe Kogan
SPLIT SECONDS: HONG KONG
NY: Abrams/Cameron Books 2020. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 288 pages. Hong Kong provides a stunning backdrop for Abe Kogan’s skillfully rendered black-and-white photography. The third in the Split Seconds series following Havana and Florence Hong Kong explores the city famous for its dense urbanism and high-rise marvels. The towering obelisks and repetitive facades of the modern megacity stand in stark contrast to its complex cultural roots—a city born of compromise between Chinese tradition and British influence. Kogan’s strikingly evocative images showcase this intersection of influence with intimate portraits of bustling street life iconic skylines claustrophobic residential areas maritime hubs rugged coastline and the parks and public spaces that provide a respite from the unrelenting vigor of the city. Like new in publisher's shrinkwrap. Record # 372906 Abrams/Cameron Books hardcover
