His first and only contribution to the One Picture Book Series, one of the most relevant to our "divided" time, and one of the Series' very best. "Life deals you a hand. A Royal Flush. A pair of Twos. Our American legacy, the horrors behind us, the gaps between us, the permeating malice. It's palpable. These pictures speak. I don't need to say much. Our past, our present whispers of the future. Actions and reactions, losing hands and stacked decks. Suspicious looks, sideways glances, expectations, but not of success. Lots of Twos" (Doug Rickard). That was actually saying a lot, on behalf of minorities, African-American as well as Hispanic as well as everyone else, all of it so true. An absolute "must-have" title for Doug Rickard collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pen on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on verso by Doug Rickard. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $100. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 11 color plates, 1 original print. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).
