Unpaginated (52 photographic plates) with eight leaves of text separating the two suites of photographs at the center. Laid in official R. J. Kern color photo-postcard, with printed contact info, hand-written and signed R. J. Kern, expressing gratitude for the support of his work. Original photo-illustrated boards with embossed gray lettering on cover and spine (with National Geographic issue November 2017 containing his photo-essay). Book and magazine housed in two separate pouches of a specially designed limited edition tof gray felt briefcase, lined with gray velvet and images of a goat and a sheep printed to inside flap, string-tied around mother of pearl buttons, with two additional velvet lined pockets on back of briefcase housing two plastic bags, connected by woolen string, containing sheep wool and goat hair. Magazine with additional wool bookmark with mother of pearl button tied to top, positioned at R. J. Kern's contribution to this issue. Extravagant production of two series of photographs taken by R. J. Kern: "The Bovidae" depicts animals and their environment in the countries of Kern's ancestors, Norway, Iceland, Ireland and Germany, while "The Unchosen" chapter depicts animals in rural America, focusing on Minnesota, the home of the photographer. The fifty-two photographs, thirty-two in part one, are reproduced photo-lithographically. "Animals have always been a canvas onto which mankind projects emotions or ideas. Kern's personal examination of his ancestry in Ireland, Germany, Norway, and Iceland resulted in an artistic project in which goats and sheep represent issues of identity and history. From the biblical story of Eve and the snake to the contemporary book and movie, "Life of Pi," animals have long connoted the polysemy of "nature": both man's intrinsic qualities and the pure actions of the animal world. In this way, Kern's photographs are part of a long cultural history in which animals act as metaphors, most notably in the pastoral tradition." (Lisa Volpe). The enclosed issue of National Geographic contains a story and color photographs by R. J. Kern entitled "The Unchosen. The competition is fierce at the county fair animal contest in Minnesota. Few are winners. What happens to the others?" Proof. A Photographer's Journal (page 105). The photographs have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, London, in 2017/18, the Klompching Gallery, Brooklyn, 2018, and the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester, MA, USA, in 2108, and they have been awarded the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2017.

Condition: Near Fine. Stuart Klipper (illustrator). Colorado Springs: Press at Colorado College, 1991. A book of dramatic black and white photographs documenting a 4,000 mile sea voyage from the port of Punta Arenas, Chile on the Strait of Magellan, to the Falkland Islands, then on to Antarctica and finishing the first stage at Tierra del Fuego.

Klipper are tipped in to the pages, which bear appropriate texts from the ship's logs written by the skipper Warren Brown. Poems by the Irish ice-sailor John Gore Grimes complement the logs. The text was typeset by computer and printed letterpress using polymer plates. The fine silk-like fabric binding and slipcase were made by Greg Campbell at the Campbell-Logan Bindery. Signed by the photographer and by James Trissel, who designed the book. Number 39 of 50 copies. Near fine book in near fine slipcase, both slightly sunned--the spine of the book and at the rear of the slipcase. Book and slipcase bound in the same type of silk-like fabric.
