From the publisher: #1. Michael Kenna: DMZ (Korean Demilitarized Zone) - The 38th Parallel: "The first title in our new "One Picture Book Two" series is by Michael Kenna, and it is a most timely one. The DMZ, known also as the Korean Demilitarised Zone, is two hundred and fifty kilometers long, four kilometers wide, and runs across the thirty-eighth parallel, dividing the Korean peninsula into North Korea, (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), and South Korea, (Republic of Korea). The DMZ has been a de facto buffered international border since an Armistice Agreement was signed in 1953. Today, thousands of troops from North and South Korea are stationed on both sides of the DMZ. Constant visual and electronic surveillance is conducted. Electrified barbed wire fences, armed guard posts and watch towers defend the perimeters of the zone. Land mines and heavy weapons are in place, ready to be used. The thirteen photographs presented here were made by Michael Kenna during his visits to the South Korean DMZ locations of Cheolwon, Gangwondo in 2005 and Paju, Gyeonggido in 2012." #2. Betty Hahn: Lone Ranger: "Betty Hahn is an American artist known for working in alternative photographic processes. Hahn's work emphasizes photography, while challenging established ideas regarding the medium's presentation. Her work incorporates a variety of techniques including: appropriation and serial imagery and mediums such as lithography, painting, and embroidery. Her extended series of images of the Lone Ranger, created in the 1970s, is one of her best known. Each print in the series is unique; during the decades since the work was made, the series has been broken up, with individual prints being acquired and held in collections across the country. We are pleased to bring together a collection of some of the finest prints from Hahn's Lone Ranger series and present them in this limited edition book. Each copy of the book comes with a loose, signed original print created specially for our One Picture Book Two series. Betty Hahn's work is held within the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Center for Creative Photography, Tucson; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Norton Simon Museum of Art, Los Angeles, among many others." #3. Carrie Mae Weems: Monument: "We are thrilled to announce our second publication with Carrie Mae Weems. In this limited edition book, Weems presents twelve photographs she has made during recent trips into the American South, showing monuments both present and removed. Known for her ability to confront injustice with eloquence, honesty and beauty in her work, Carrie Mae Weems is a true national treasure. Her photographs, films, and videos have been displayed in over 50 exhibitions in the United States and abroad, and focus on serious issues that face African Americans today, such as racism, sexism, politics, and personal identity." #4. Tony Mendoza: floridadogs: "Born in Havana in 1941, Tony Mendoza moved with his family to Miami in 1960. A prolific writer as well as photographer, Mendoza is the subject and author of several books, but is perhaps best-known for "Ernie", a photographic memoir centered on a cat he encountered when he moved into an apartment in New York City. In Floridadogs, Mendoza presents a series of photographs he made one afternoon of beach-loving canines that he and his dog Bob encountered during an impromptu visit to the dog beach at Fort De Soto P.…

Padded brown full calf, gilt decorated borders front cover, silk pastedowns (minor scuffing, edgewear), still a VG exemplar. This previously unknown album captures the brief moments of leisure onboard the USS Helena (CA-75) of President-Elect Dwight D. Eisenhower following his historic mission to the Korean War battlefront, in between shipboard foreign policy meetings with his proposed cabinet in December, 1952. On October 24, 1952 when General Dwight D. Eisenhower was leading in the polls as Republican candidate for President, while serving as the Supreme Commander of NATO, Ike announced he would "forego the diversions of politics and concentrate on the job of ending the Korean War. . . I shall go to Korea." Nearing the end of 1952, the brutal War was entering its' third winter, U.S. casualties were over 25,000 battlefield dead, and the United States had been at War for eight of the past 11 years, and he set himself the task of ending the War. Despite President Truman terming the trip as a gimmick, Eisenhower secretly left the U.S. Nov. 29, 1952, accompanied by Chief of Staff Omar Bradley, and spent Dec. 2, 1952 - Dec. 6, 1952 viewing conditions on the ground, wearing a fur-lined hat, thermos boots, and eating and interviewing enlisted soldiers and officers with his son John Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, and Admiral Radford. He quickly realized that the massive offensive being pushed by President Rhee would only result in another status quo, and obliquely threatened China with possible Nuclear War, as well as convincing Rhee that they would have to accept a division of Korea and find a solution for ceasefire. The album opens with signed photo of Eisenhower standing on the deck of the USS Helena, followed by others including another signed image depicting him with his future cabinet, including Charles Erwin Wilson (future Secretary of Defense), John Foster Dulles (future Secretary of State), Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Secretary of the Treasury George M. Humphrey, and Secretary of the Interior Douglas James McKay (former Oregon governor), along with Admiral Arthur Radford, and Captain James E. Cohn, commander of the Helena. One of Ike's favorite pastimes was trapshooting, and four of the large 8 x 9 in. photos, and over 20 depict him in this sequence of holding and shooting the shotgun, as well as competing with others in the entourage. A few of the sequence Naval photographs depict him walking and talking with photojournalists, interacting with USS Helena sailors, and others. The USS Helena had been relieved of her normal duties Nov. 24, 1952 for special mission carrying President-Elect Eisenhower, along with other dignitaries, and after leaving Yokosuka Harbor, Japan she sailed to Guam by Dec. 3 where she picked up the party delivered onboard Ike's preferred Navy Helicopter, the Sikorsky H-5 Dragonfly HO3S-1, UP 39 Last Chance Taxi IV depicted in several photos here. The President-Elect Eisenhower's delegation disembarked Dec. 11, 1952 in Honolulu, T.H.The shipboard Navy photographers were John W. Wahlborg, and Clarence Wayne Newland (1924-2009) who used two of these images for the 1953 USS Helena cruise book (see p. 76), which have also included here many different photographs of the USS Helena at Yokosuka, Japan with two of the images indicating their visit coincided with the flight operations of the Essex-Class carrier, USS Oriskany (CVA-34) depicted in photos with her full complement of Corsairs and folded wings on deck, as well as an unidentified Carrier. Many of the photos also depict the UP 39 Sikorsky helicopter flying across the harbor and onto the deck of the USS Helena with giant US Flag painted on the deck. Following their cruise to Honolulu, the USS Helena subsequently traveled to Long Beach, CA for celebrations, and then was a featured guest at the Portland Oregon Rose Festival festivities in May-June, 1953. The trip was especially significant in that Eisenhower was able to convince both President Rhee, and Secretary of State Dulles that compromise was necessary, and after over 7000 additional casualties (approximately the same amount as suffered by U.S. Armed Forces in post-9/11 war operations including Iraq and Afghanistan over 25 years) the armistice was signed under the Eisenhower administration July 27, 1953.
