The third volume in an authoritative and comprehensive series, The Photobook: A History volume III provides a unique perspective on the story of contemporary photography through the genre of the photobook. Continuing in the vein of the first two volumes, Volume III is a study of the major trends and movements that have shaped the photobook genre globally since the birth of photography in the early nineteenth century. Volume III pays particular attention to photobooks published after World War II, covering contemporary themes of modern life, from diaristic photography of place and people to twentieth-century propaganda books and some of the finest works to emerge from the recent self-publishing boom. The Photobook volumes represent a valuable catalogue of rare and important photobooks, and since Phaidon published Volume I in 2004, are now regarded by academics, students and photobook bibliophiles as the definitive works on this subject.

William Henry Fox Talbot publicó The Pencil of Nature, un hito en el mundo editorial y en la historia de la fotografía, entre 1844 y 1846 para dar a conocer su invento, el calotipo, y demostrar las capacidades ilimitadas que tenía la fotografía de dibujar imágenes por medio de la luz, es decir, a través de un proceso químico. En esta publicación, por primera vez, aprendemos a mirar distinto gracias a sus imágenes y a su pluma. The Pencil of Nature marca un antes y un después de los libros ilustrados.

This project is an exercise of appropriation beginning with its title: it takes the name that Henry William Fox Talbot gave to his photography publication (1844), where he declared that the human hand had no interference in the documentation of nature. In this series, Venegas reviews female poses when photographed by men putting her own influences in crisis and depicting male poses in the form of self-portraits from celebrated artworks. In this way, the volume questions the traditional link between gender and nature by highlighting the plasticity of bodies in front of the camera, subject to light and movement. As in the images of Talbot that fade, by accepting our constant transformation, we find the possibility of understanding what we comprehend as other

Tibet has suffered extreme political turmoil and upheaval over the last fifty odd years. Occupied in 1950, Red Guards destroyed thousands of official buildings and holy places during the Cultural Revolution and religious freedom and traditional education is still severely under threat. Due to the strength of the Tibetan`s faith in Buddha and the Dalai Lama and against the odds many buildings have been reconstructed and their devotion and belief have remained extraordinarily strong. Buddhism permeates every part of a Tibetan`s life, whether they are living in Tibet or are part of the hundreds of thousands that live away from their homeland, in Nepal, India or the United States. The Path to Buddha is divided into five parts, with two main chapters devoted to the religious and lay Buddhists on their pilgrimages to holy sites. We see the monks in animated discussion, meditation and prayer and follow the devout believers on their arduous journeys to prayer. These two main chapters are interspersed with sections of portraits of this proud and dignified people whose own innate sense of style and fashion can be seen in the way they dress and adorn themselves.

Publicada originalmente con 175 únicas y exquisitas copias accesibles sólo para la élite de Gran Bretaña, esta obra maestra de la historia de la ilustración científica está ahora disponible para todos. Dibujando loros vivos, Edward Lear (1812-1888) creo ilustraciones tan deslumbrantes y vivas que hasta se gano el honor de enseñar su arte a la...Puede que Edward Lear sea mas conocido por sus versos absurdos, pero en sus años tempranos descollo como ilustrador de aves y reptiles. Esta coleccion de 42 litografias coloreadas a mano, tituladas originalmente Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots (Ilustraciones de la familia de los psitacidos, o loros), fue el mayor logro en su carrera relativamente breve como dibujante de historia natural, antes de que un problema ocular le llevase a concentrarse en la escritura.En la epoca de Lear, los loros vivos eran infrecuentes y muy buscados, comprados y vendidos por grandes sumas de dinero por magnates aficionados a la historia natural y valorados por la aristocracia europea del siglo XIX por su asombroso plumaje y su imitacion de la voz humana. Desde luego, los buenos dibujos tambien eran muy cotizados. Loros, una de las primeras colecciones dedicadas integramente a esta especie, incluye ejemplares africanos, australianos y americanos criados por eminentes ornitologos como sir William Jardine y Prideaux John Selby, que patrocinaron a Lear, inspirando y dirigiendo su trabajo.A diferencia de otros dibujantes que trabajaban con aves disecadas, el joven y prodigiosamente talentoso Lear (1812-1888) realizaba sus obras a partir de loros vivos, capturando sus expresiones y movimientos en ilustraciones notablemente realistas. La nueva tecnica de la litografia coloreada a mano facilito la intensa elegancia de su trabajo.Esta obra exquisita fue reproducida originalmente en 175 series unicas y vendida por suscripcion a los eruditos y coleccionistas mas eminentes de loros vivos de Gran Bretaña. Psittacidae (Los psitacidos) hicieron de Lear un ilustrador celebre y hasta profesor de dibujo de la joven reina Victoria. Con una breve introduccion zoologica y descripciones de cada ave, este libro recupera la edicion XL de TASCHEN en un formato optimizado y mas accesible, y devuelve a la vida a los loros de Lear para la admiracion del publico general.En pocas palabras, estas laminas son impresionantes. Los pajaros parecen estar a punto de salir volando de la pagina.
