First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 1873319096 Book in fine condition. Dustjacket in very good condition, just very slightly bumped along top back edge, and just a hint of rubbing at top outer corner edges, otherwise a fine copy. 128pages. Over 130 beautifully produced photographs in monochrome of the Hebridean Islands. One comment made by Charles Peel in 1901 on how the islanders found some tins of vaseline washed up on the beach which they spread thickly on some bread and ate it with great relish! Publisher's write-up -"In many cases the individual power of the photographs is enhanced by grouping a series of images to capture the essence of a scene. These sets often contain minute details with broad vistas. Drawn by the constantly changing light, the textures of the land and the tenuous nature of the islanders' life, Iain McGowan has accumulated an evocative portfolio of the life and landscape of the Hebrides."
