"'Varianti' è un libro-progetto interamente concepito dall'Autore, sia nella scelta delle immagini che nei testi. Guido Guidi ha immaginato il libro come la più naturale sequenza di immagini che si susseguono col ritmo di una narrazione intima, pura, come quella, semplice, delle fotografie di un album. Tutte le immagini che datano dal 1969 al 1994 sono riprodotte in grandezza originale e nella loro più totale interezza, come oggetti leggeri, con i segni che l'uso e il passare del tempo ha lasciato su di loro, appoggiati sulla pagina (dal risvolto di copertina) / "Varianti is a project book conceived entirely by the author, both as regards the choice of images and the text. Guido Guidi, one of the most sophisticated and elegant contemporary Italian photographers, visualized this book as a sequence of images unfolding with the natural rhythm of pure, intimate narration, like the simple story told by an album of photographs. All images dated from 1969 to 1994 are reproduced to their original scale in… Read More

I'm not a ship specialist, but I think the vessels in these images show quite the variety of Great Lakes conveyances - from sailing yachts to steam ships to row boats. Readable names of vessels include: F. & P. M. No. 5, Cruiser, Cygnet, City of Collingwood, Garland, China, and the City of Toledo. At least one card shows a view looking up at Fort Mackinac from the dock. This card is not marked Koella, although the printing and card are similar to the others. Another appears to be Mackinac Island taken from Lake Huron. There are two unmounted photos as well, making 40 images total. The cards are c1875.
The cards range from good to fine condition. The good ones have some photo scuffing and other marks. A few of the photos have a bit of fade.
