Museology

Summary: One of the Best phototographic books I've owned.
Review: I owned this book back in the early nineties and never got tired of looking through it! It inspired my own photography time and time again. Unfortunately it was destroyed in a flood 3 years ago, and I've searched in vain to find another.

The book is comprised mainly of a series of iconic photographs taken in the back rooms of museums from around the world and in several Edwardian-era museums, now closed, but still quite haunting in the way they still stand just like the day when they closed up shop years ago. Photographs of cobweb-covered stuffed lion, birds and rhinos in poses they've held for maybe 100 years TOTALLY absorb the viewer. What an eye this Ross guy has! If you can see a copy, you'll want to own it. If you own it, you'll show it to your friends like a trophy.

I hope to find another copy someday, because I nearly wore out the pages on the first one before the water took it first.
