SYNOPSIS: David Nasby has spent the last two years photographing the people and the countryside near Guelph, Ontario. Free from sentimentality or nostalgia, and with complete respect for his subjects, he has recorded people at work, farm sales and auctions, stockyards and country fairs. There is great integrity in his approach. he is concerned with everyday events - a man haying, three women in an empty house, the butcher gutting a pig, children in a field of flowers. But he catches the intensity of these deceptively quiet scenes and the result is photography of an almost classic dimension. Nasby does not present his photographs as a definitive statement, but as a continuing documentary of a way of life which is constant and changing. The photographs in this collection were taken in the counties of Wellington, Waterloo and Huron, as well as Nipissing and Pickering Townships. Nasby's comments accompany his work. David Nasby was born in Hamilton in 1945 and has a degree in sociology. He became interested in photography in 1969. He has had several one-man shows and during the summer of 1973 taught and exhibited his work at the Edinburgh Arts Festival. He is currently on the staff of Mohawk College in Hamilton. David Nasby's work was shown with Renaissance '71 at the University of Toronto, and in one-man exhibitions at Mount St Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia; McMaster University Art Gallery, Hamilton, Ontario and the Richard Demarco Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Nast, Thomas (illustrator). First Edition. Duodecimo size, 299 pp. The popular work of ironic fiction written by journalist and political commentator David Ross Locke (1833-1888). Locke's greatest influence was through his satirical writings as "Petroleum Vesuvius Nasby". The Nasby letters harshly ridiculed the plight of peoples in the Confederate states and the complicity of Northern politicians. Both Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant recognized Nasby as a significant source of support for their presidencies. Thomas Nast (1840-1902) eventually heightened the work with his illustrations, and was also credited by Lincoln for inspiring people to support the war effort. His work marked an important shift in shift in political cartoons, which had before relied mainly on text rather than imagery. "Swinging Round the Cirkle" is made up of some of the most weighted of Nasby's moral statements, especially concerning the plight of African Americans. The letters were composed in response to a comment by Andrew Johnson on an "uninspired" tour of the country. ___DESCRIPTION: Original pebbled green cloth with blind-stamped panels to both boards and gilt decorations on backstrip, frontis and seven additional plates with captions; duodecimo size (7 5/8" by 5 1/8"), [1-4] 5-299 pp., first edition. ___CONDITION: A very good copy; covers clean other than a few minor spots on the back board, a strong text block with solid hinges, complete with all plates, the only prior owner marking being a very small plate to the front free endpaper; minor rubbing to edges and corners, foxing throughout though plates are still bright; overall a very good copy. ___CITATION: BAL 11820. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard shipping charge does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
