About This Item
Topsfield, MA: Salem House Pub, 1989. First American edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/fine. 4to, cloth
Contains about 100 color photographs by Stephen Dalton, including a number not previously published from his work in 1984-1986, which demonstrates the results from his notable innovations in high-speed illumination, which allowed high-speed photographs. His focus was on small animals and insects. He was the first to be capable of stopping an insect in flight with absolute clarity. One chapter explains how he pursued breaking the high-speed barrier from 1970-1975: one stunning owl picture took three weeks to get.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
