About This Item
Colorado Springs: Press at Colorado College, 1991. A book of dramatic black and white photographs documenting a 4,000 mile sea voyage from the port of Punta Arenas, Chile on the Strait of Magellan, to the Falkland Islands, then on to Antarctica and finishing the first stage at Tierra del Fuego. In the second stage the ship sailed up the western coast of Chile and ended the voyage at Valdivia, Chile. 28 black and white photographs of both ice formations and dramatic stopping points on the voyage by Stuart D. Klipper are tipped in to the pages, which bear appropriate texts from the ship's logs written by the skipper Warren Brown. Poems by the Irish ice-sailor John Gore Grimes complement the logs. The text was typeset by computer and printed letterpress using polymer plates. The fine silk-like fabric binding and slipcase were made by Greg Campbell at the Campbell-Logan Bindery. Signed by the photographer and by James Trissel, who designed the book. Number 39 of 50 copies. Near fine book in near fine slipcase, both slightly sunned--the spine of the book and at the rear of the slipcase.
