The nature of the beast - Alfons Alt

An extraordinary collection of animal photographs by Alfons Alt, the winner of the European Publishers Award for Photography for the year 2000. The work incorporates one of the oldest printing techniques (Resino-pigmentype) which allows the photographer to manipulate the colouration of the images and whilst the work is remiscent of a medieval bestiary it is inescapably contemporary both in visual approach and content. Alfons Alt has exhibited widely throughout Europe and the photographs from this book will begin a European tour in October 2000. 80 colour plates.
