Catalog of American Fruits
$50.00
An Illustrated Catalog of American Fruits & Nuts.
The United States Department of Agriculture Pomological Watercolor Collection encompasses 7,497 botanical watercolor paintings of evolving fruit and nut varieties, alongside specimens introduced by USDA plant explorers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Assembled between 1886 and 1942, the collection's remarkable, botanically accurate watercolors were executed by some 21 professional artists (including nine women). Authored largely before the widespread application of photography, the watercolors were intended to aid accurate identification and examination of fruit varietals, for the nation’s fruit growers.

Surf Culture on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii
In addition to his editorial work for commercial clients such as Travel & Leisure, Condé Nast and National Geographic, Oregon-based photographer Brown W. Cannon III has been a surfer for over three decades. This stunning volume compiles a series he has been working on for more than six years that captures the powerful allure of the surf culture on the North Shore of O'ahu, Hawai'i. In addition to studio portraiture of surfers, lifeguards, surfboard shapers, photographers, bodysurfers and bodyboarders, he includes action shots of his subjects scanning the horizon and then catching and flying down the line on 40-foot waves. Focused on the specific stretch of coast known as the Seven Mile Miracle, his images paint a stunning portrait of one of the most legendary proving grounds for big wave watermen and women.
