Yosemite in Time: Ice Ages, Tree Clocks, Ghost Rivers (signed limited edition in clamshell)
San Antonio, TX: Trinity UP, 2005. First edition. Hardcover. A special edition of Yosemite in Time, limited to 75 copies and ten artist proofs. Signed by writer Rebecca Solnit and photographers Mark Klett and Byron Wolfe and numbered on a transparency colophon over the half-title page. This is copy 26 of 75. Housed in an impressive clamshell box, gray cloth, created at the Tien Wah Press in Singapore. Included rolled in its own compartment is a special edition inkjet print, Panorama from Sentinel Dome, which combines images made by Klett and Wolfe in 2003 with Carleton Watkins historic images from Sentinel Dome in 1865-66. In this book, Klett and Wolfe rephotograph vantages from photographs by Eadweard Muybridge, Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and other photographers to show how the landscape has both changed and not across almost 150 years. Their own original angles are also included. Solnit--an expert on both Yosemite and photography, to which she's devoted other books--adds an introduction and three essays in her inimitable critical style. An oblong quarto in blue cloth with slate green endpapers. Black and white and color photographs throughout. The book is near fine with a little light bumping to corners from sliding within the clamshell, we think; the jacket is similarly near fine. The clamshell itself is fine, and the photograph remains rolled as found and is unexamined. Still in its original cardboard mailer. A fantastic project and coffee table art piece. Near fine / Fine.
