NEW - Horimono Sashin

The book

It was in 2020 that we decided to pool our skills to undertake this project. We searched the four corners of the world to locate and bring together these forgotten photographs. 

Entitled Horimono Shashin, the book will reproduce more than 100 photographs, the majority of which are hand-coloured albumen prints and a few rare magic lantern glass plates. Each image has been restored to bring out as many details as possible of the people tattooed over 150 years ago. The original colours and contrast will be respected (which is often not the case with image banks). The texts will be in English and French, with the English translation entrusted to Didier Mayhew, a Franco-British photographer with a passion for sociology.

The cover will be beautifully finished (softtouch effect and selective varnish) in 21.5 x 26 cm format, and the book will have 192 pages inside on high-quality paper (170 gr.) with headband and bookmark. Printing will take place in October, with dispatch starting in mid-November 2024.
