About This Item
Portland,Oregon: Nazraeli Press, 2009. First edition. Hardcover. As new. Edward Bateman. SIGNED. Thin duodecimo [19 cm] Burgundy paper over boards. A book of twelve reproductions and one original pigment print by digital wizard, Edward Bateman. Nazraeli Press One Picture Book #58. The 13th plate, is laid in at the rear of the book and is signed by the artist. From the introduction..."Automatons became the next wonder of the age, and the camera turned its ever hungry gaze on them as well. This was an unprecedented development. Mankind has always looked at objects. For the first time in human history, objects were looking back. Robots (although the name would not be coined for 80 years) made excellent photographic subjects because of their ability to remain motionless for extended periods of time. And indeed, they were widely documented, although few examples remain today. Automatons became more than just sources of labor-they became companions and, following legislation passed during the upheaval of the Civil War, autonomous citizens." No. 175 in an edition limited to 500 copies.
