About This Item
[Colorado Springs, Colo.]: The Press at Colorado College, 1991. Edition limited to 50 copies (this, no. 18), signed by the printer and designer, James Trissel, and also by the photographer, Stuart Klipper; oblong folio, pp. [50] and but for the title-page spread, printed on rectos only; with 28 mounted black & white photographs, each approx. 3" x 4"; bound with concertina guards around signatures to compensate for the tipped-in photos, in pale blue Japanese cloth over boards, silver-stamped spine, in matching cloth slipcase, slightly faded. From the library of Kim Merker. The photographs were taken by Stuart Klipper during an expedition to Antarctica in 1987. Klipper had joined the crew of the Bermudian yacht War Baby on a two-and-a-half-month journey that covered over 4000 nautical miles. The text accompanying the images consists of excerpts from the log of War Baby's skipper, Warren Brown, and quotations from the renowned Irish ice-sailor, John Gore Grimes. The voyage began in Punta Arenas, Chile on the Strait of Magellan, to the Falkland Islands, then on to Antarctica and Tierra del Fuego; later, the journey took them up the western coast of Chile and ended at Valdivia, Chile.
