Paris: Éditions de La Martinière 2000, 2000. First edition. Large 4to. pp. 431. Original black cloth with title and author printed in black on the spine. Photographic dust jacket with title and author printed in grey to upper cover and spine. There is some very minor bumping to the bottom right of the upper cover but otherwise this is in fine condition throughout. Text in French. Eight page introductory essay by Lélia Wanick Salgado setting out the aim of the book: "This book tells the story of humanity on the move". The four hundred pages of Salgado's stark black and white images tell that story in the most elemental photographic form. The book is divided into four sections. Part one is about migrants and refugees generally - "the instinct for survival". Part two covers "the African tragedy", the third part, Latin America; and part four is about Asia and migration into the cities. This in a moving and fascinating record of one of the most important and pressing questions of the 21st century. Fine

About Voewood Rare Books

Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
