This limited edition (First edition, first and only printing) incl. an original tintype; signed by Bidaut, in a deluxe black cloth clamshell box with debossed title (11 3/4 x 9 1/4 inches), with choice of one of four original tintypes (3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches). Photographs by Jayne Hinds Bidaut, including images from the series academy figures, insects and stereo nudes. Text by Eugenia Parry. Also includes brief biographies of Bidaut and Parry. Each of the four tintypes is in an edition of 25, is numbered and plated on the reverse and has been mounted on a fine printed paper that is also numbered and signed by Bidaut, and adhered to the back of the clamshell box (the tintype can be removed from the paper). - From the publisher: "Reviving the lost art of tintype, Bidaut is the only woman working successfully in this medium. Publishing on the heals of her first sold-out exhibition in New York, Jayne Hinds Bidaut's photographs portray two studies: one of rare and exotic insects, the other of classically posed and draped nudes."
