"In this elegant volume, David Maisel first publishes images made more than 20 years ago, of clear-cut logging sites in northern Maine. The title refers to a series of environmental crises triggered by extinctions within an ecosystem. Accompanied by an excerpt from Susan Stewart's poem, 'The Forest', the images and words together limn an elegy for that which has incontrovertibly vanished" (Publisher's blurb). The serene and compact sequence of photographs has a cumulative effect that is overwhelming in its power and beauty. One of the most stunningly beautiful books in the Series. An absolute "must-have" title for David Maisel collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page.
