60 p. with numerous b/w illustrations. As the title suggests the works are often photographs about photography. Gordon's images are a part of an early discourse about how society has used photography as a means of representation. Though he is theorizing about the medium, his images are often witty, sometimes humorous, while formally exploring the exotic of the everyday.

Meta Photographs is a largely under-the-radar book, similar to some of the work Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand made in the mid to late 1970s. In his afterword, Alex Sweetman writes, 'The best introduction to the book is a familiarity with the great works of the critical realist tradition from Atget to Evans through Robert Frank and the present generation; it is as much about them as it is about the environment.' First edition, number 28 of 100 signed and numbered copies with a signed photograph; 4to (305 x 228 mm, 12 x 9 in); black-and-white photographs; plain endpapers, navy cloth-covered boards, titles stamped in silver on spine and upper, minor fading to spine, lightly rubbed, publisher's grey cloth-covered board slipcase, light wear, vintage gelatin silver photograph (252 x 203 mm, 10 x 8 in) signed and numbered in pencil, matted and signed and numbered again in pencil on the front, a near-fine copy; [64]pp.…

Two of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, 'The Facts in the Case of Monsieur Valdemar' and 'The Story of Hop-Frog', atmospherically illustrated with striking, gothic lithographs by the twice Kate Greenway award-winning artist Charles Keeping, celebrated for his large body of work for the novels of Rosemary Sutcliff. 'The Facts in the Case of Monsieur Valdemar' details the experiments of a mesmerist who hypnotises a man who is about to die of tuberculosis, which subsequently stops him from dying until he is awakened months later. It was first published in 'Broadway Journal' and 'American Review' in 1845 without indication that is was fictional, leading many readers to believe that the account was a scientific report. 'The Story of Hop-Frog' is about a court jester and a court dancer with dwarfism who take revenge on a cruel king. The fifth book issued by Chimaera Press.

Hard Cover. Etat : Fine. Limited First Edition. Illustrated with six original lithographs by Charles Keeping. Limited first edition. One of 100 numbered copies signed by Keeping, this being number 51. Publisher's quarter vellum, with gray, red, and black marbled paper-covered boards, back to back stories (dos-à-dos) with two title pages, book bound by Paul Cook, spine lettered in black, and fore edge untrimmed; housed in publisher's gray slipcase. Fine book, with just a hint of toning to spine; about fine slipcase, with a faint area of soiling and a few very light scratches to rear panel. With a "Recent Press Books" review of the book laid in. Overall, a luxurious and haunting edition of two short stories from the 19th century American master of horror. This fine press book contains two macabre short stories by Edgar Allan Poe: "The Facts in the Case of Monsieur Valdemar" and "The Story of Hop-Frog." In "Monsieur Valdemar," the narrator conducts an experiment on a man dying of tuberculosis, mesmerizing (an early form of hypnosis) him shortly before his impending death. The man is kept in a trance-like state, somewhere between life and death, for months, until the trance is broken and his body rapidly decays. The story was first published simultaneously in Broadway Journal and American Review: A Whig Journal in December of 1845 without any statement that it was fiction, which led many readers to believe that it was a retelling of a true event. In "The Story of Hop-Frog," the title character is a dwarf and jester for a cruel and joke-loving king. When the king abuses Hop-Frog's friend, a young girl named Trippetta, Hop-Frog plots a fiery revenge against the king and his seven loyal ministers. "Hop-Frog" was first published in 1849 in The Flag of Our Union newspaper, and it has been suggested that the story was Poe's way of taking revenge against his literary critics.
