Dust jacket shot by dealer
I collect books, mainly in two genres – African wildlife and photography. I was rather pleased when I was able to source a mint copy of Roger Ballen’s ‘Platteland’, a book described by Susan Sontag as:
‘…an altogether extraordinary book, the most impressive sequence of portraits I’ve seen in years. Roger Ballen has used the power of photography to instruct, to shock, and to discomfit with an exemplary integrity of purpose’.
It really is an exceptional book and the most I’ve ever paid for a single item in my collection. I can’t wait to get it.
Check out Roger Ballen’s website to see more of his work.
