Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardback, fine condition, with dust jacket scuff marks to edges. 180 pages illustrations, some colour, maps 25.4 x 23.4 centimetres The Jack Adamson Collection, a rare and unique collection of glass plate photographs (1889-1901), has been sumptuously reproduced in this significant publication. Feeling for Daylight: The Photographs of Jack Adamson provides a stunning photographic journey around the Southern Alps and early settler communities on the eastern and western side of the mountains. Adamson captured some of the pivotal moments in the history of earlier New Zealand mountaineering. His photographs include wonderful character studies, beautiful topographical views and his work contains a surprising array of emotion - the everyday, the humorous and moments of spontaneity that were rare for this period of photography. About the Author Rhian Gallagher received a Canterbury Community Historian grant in 2007. Gallagher sets Adamson's photography in context, unraveling some of the complicated twists and turns of his story. Rhian Gallagher lived in London for 18 years and returned to New Zealand in 2005. Her first collection of poems, Salt Water Creek, was published in 2003 (Enitharmon Press). Gallagher received a Canterbury History Foundation Award in 2007 and the Janet Frame Literary Trust Award in 2008. Seller Inventory # ABE-1571169260684
