Beautiful catalogue featuring photographs taken by American photographer Wynn Bullock (1902-1975). The photos collectively follow the theme of the "enchanted landscape" and feature mysterious forests, rugged coastlines, and man-made derelicts absent of human life except for the occasional nude woman or child. Signatures are by Edna Bullock, the wife of Wynn who later became a photographer herself, and Barbara Bullock-Wilson, one of Edna and Wynn's two daughters who collaborated with her parents on projects and wrote frequently about their work. This catalogue also includes writings by Wynn.
