(JUDE, RON). Jude, Ron & Nicholas Muellner. London: MACK, 2012. First Edition. 4to. Pictorial Self-Wrappers. Photography Monograph. Fine.. np (112pp) + np (8pp), 69 color illustrations. "Ron Jude’s "Lick Creek Line" extends and amplifies his ongoing fascination with the vagaries of photographic empiricism, and the gray area between documentation and fiction. In a sequential narrative punctuated by contrasting moments of violence and beauty, Jude follows the rambling journey of a fur trapper, methodically checking his trap line in a remote area of Idaho in the Western United States. Through converging pictures of landscapes, architecture, an encroaching resort community, and the solitary, secretive process of trapping pine marten for their pelts, "Lick Creek Line" underscores the murky and culturally arbitrary nature of moral critique". A brand new, bright white, most handsome example additionally SIGNED "Ron Jude" in black ink on the title page with the publisher's eight page staple-bound newsprint booklet laid in, as issued. 1-907946-17-9 Inventory Number: 027650
