"Despite the fact that medical practice has advanced enormously since those times, medieval tools are still in use. The tools at a post-mortem are a means of establishing or confirming the cause of death, they are used after a life has ended. Born in England, Steve Pyke has been working as a staff photographer on The New Yorker since early 2005. He has worked for many of the world's leading magazines, and his photographs have been widely exhibited in the United States, Europe and Japan" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Steve Pyke collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pen on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in black pen on verso by Steve Pyke. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $150. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 12 color plates, 1 original print. One of the finest photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1590051505.
