Animalerie

""Animalerie" is French for "animal shop." For three years between 1991-94, American photographer Jayne Hinds Bidaut sought out pet shops in Europe and North America, quietly witnessing and photographing what she saw." "This volume presents ninety photographs from Jayne Hinds Bidaut's "Animaleries" series. Accompanying the images is an essay by John Wood, who provides a critical appreciation of Bidaut's work. He establishes her connections to nineteenth-century photographers and naturalists, with whose work she shares affinities of both technique and subject matter. Wood describes why Bidaut chose to work in tintype and stereograph for her beautiful portraits of insects and Victorian-inspired nude studies. And he probes the nexus between art and moral statement that gives the images in Animalerie both poetry and potency."--Jacket.
