The catalogue traces the history of photography from its early developments through its rise in status as both creative and documentary medium; from war photography to contemporary fashion imagery. Osborne Samuel hosts limited editions of seminal works by the great names of early black and white photography, such as Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bill Brandt and Melvin Sokolski, through to contemporary classics including The Kate Moss Portfolio by Mario Testino, Annie Leibovitz and Bruce Weber.

Text engl. - Other ed.: Parallel edition: Santa Fe: Radius Books 2011 (same ISBN). - Die in Deutschland geborene Fotografin Renate Aller hat seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt den Atlantischen Ozean von einem einzigen Punkt an der Küste der legendären Hamptons fotografiert. Ihre Bilder zeigen die sich unendlich verändernden Farben und Strukturen von Himmel und Wasser und die Schönheit und Größe des Ozeans. Sie lassen erahnen, was seit Generationen Menschen an diesen Ort gelockt hat. Die erhabene Schönheit dieses Aussichtspunktes, die Aller mit dem großen romantischen Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts, Caspar David Friedrich, verbindet, ist auch eine Metapher für die Landschaft der menschlichen Emotionen. Allers Standpunkt ist statisch, aber der Wandel von Wetter und Licht ermöglicht eine vielfältige Reihe von Bildern, die eine gewaltige visuelle Bibliothek von Erinnerungen und Assoziationen eröffnen. - Das Buch weist den subtilen Zauber sowohl von Allers großformatigen Prints als auch der originalen Ozeanlandschaften auf. Es enthält Essays des New Yorker Kritikers Richard B. Woodward und der Leiterin der Abteilung für Zeitgenössische Kunst der Hamburger Kunsthalle, Petra Roettig. Ergänzt werden diese Beiträge durch ein Gespräch mit der Kunsthistorikerin Jasmin Seck, die Allers Arbeiten in einen Kontext mit der Landschaftsfotografie und mit der Geschichte der Bilder von der Südküste Long Islands stellt.

Text engl. - „In his latest collection, Dolce Via, photographer Charles H. Traub brings an American aesthetic to the delights of the streets and byways of Italy. This volume is the first comprehensive compendium of his vivid color photographs made in early 1980s Italy, from Milan to Marsala. Characteristic of Traub’s imagery is a candid intimacy that combines humor and spontaneity, which makes us long for an Italy that maybe only once was. Brilliant blues, reds, and yellows engulf the baroque posturing and gestures of strangers and ordinary people who become fond archetypical caricatures. Traub’s friend and guide, the late photographer Luigi Ghirri, said of the imagery, “You see our foibles, strip us bare, make love through the camera, and then venerate us.” These photographs were last exhibited at the Hudson River Museum, Light Gallery New York, and Gallery Agora in Torino in the mid-1980s. - Traub has published seven previous volumes of work including Beach (1977), Italy Observed (1988), and Still Life in America (2004). He is represented by the Gitterman Gallery in New York, has exhibited in 27 solo gallery shows, and his works are in the collection of major museums worldwide. Presently, Traub is Chair of the MFA Photography, Video, and Related Media department at the School of Visual Arts in New York, and President of the Aaron Siskind Foundation. “ (Publisher’s text; 02.2018).

Text ital. - „Il fascino esotico e certamente misterioso che legò gli occidentali al Medio Oriente e all'Africa mediterranea esplose a partire dalle campagne militari di Napoleone. Nei decenni successivi viaggiatori, artisti, archeologi e studiosi calcarono quelle sabbie sconosciute. Fondamentale fu la documentazione di coloro che si cimentarono nella nascente arte della fotografia e tra questi vi fu il contributo attento e insostituibile di Emile Bechard, che aprì uno studio, dal 1869 al 1875, al Cairo dove visse fino al 1880. In questo volume sono pubblicali 21 intensi ritratti di vita quotidiana, scatti di rara perfezione "rubati" seguendo l'istinto di una straordinaria scelta di carattere“.

Text engl. - „In the spring of 1862, Queen Victoria commissioned the leading British photographer Francis Bedford to accompany her son and heir, the future King Edward VII, on an ambitious journey across the Middle East. This beautifully illustrated book traces their tour throughout Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, and Greece alongside excerpts from Prince Edward’s diary and other newly discovered archival material, published here for the first time. - Over the course of several months, Bedford produced more than two hundred negatives, including images of architecture and stunning landscapes, from a breathtaking view of the Garden of Gethsemane to shots of the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. He was the first Christian granted permission to photograph sacred sites in Jerusalem. Bedford also captured many photographs of the people he encountered on the tour, both locals and members of the royal party. - Cairo to Constantinople is the first book to focus on the photographs taken during Prince Edward’s travels in the Middle East. Taken during a time of great change in the area, these extraordinary photographs will fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of the Middle East or in photography’s role in documenting civilization.“ (www.amazon.de/Cairo-Constantinople-Francis-Bedfords-Photographs/dp/1905686188; seen 02.2018).
