Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. In Praise of Oxen: photographs by Terry James; text by Terry James & Frances Anderson; Nimbus Publishing Limited, Halifax, 1992. From the blurb If you have ever heard the sound of ox-bells, you are likely to remember them forever. Oxen powerful, intelligent, and versatile animals have for centuries been molded to conform with human needs: from logging, farming, and hauling freight to performing in exhibitions, parades, and ox-pulls. The story of oxen as beasts of burden, however, encompasses much more than mere animal husbandry. It is the story of a unique relationship between the ox owner and his team; a relationship which expresses itself as an entire way of life. Terry James' photographs illuminate this way of life by offering an impressive variety of images that capture the essential qualities of these adaptable animals, and the confidence and pride they instill in their owners. The photographs are richly complemented by tributes from the ox owners themselves accentuating the oxen culture that has emerged over time. Together, text and images evoke a time and a way of life that is fast disappearing. In Praise of Oxen celebrates the humble oxen and the proud people who own them. Terry James, having moved to the ox country of southwestern Nova Scotia in 1982, distinctly remembers the day the sound of ox-bells captivated him, and his realization that he wanted to tell the story of oxen. Frances Anderson lives near the LaHave River on Nova Scotia's south shore. This large format book, 106 pages measuring 279mm X 224mm is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is now in a protective mylar wrap. N° de réf. du vendeur 2355
