After seeing several flag books in the Santa Fe Book Group’s exhibit, I’ve been fooling around with a flag book I made years ago and was never happy with. I’m still not. The other day I ran across the flag book below on Etsy by Deep Sea Press. The author says
This one-of-a-kind hand made artist book features an image of a 400-year old engraving by the french artist Jacques LeMoynes entitled How the Indians Kill Alligators (Alligator Hunt). LeMoyne’s drawings of the Timicua indians depicted all aspects of the lives of the native Northern Floridians including hunting…Flag books have so much movement to them I wanted to feature an image in which movement was central.
And that made me realize why my own flag book was unsuccessful—the images I’m using don’t convey movement. See more books and by Deep Sea Press here.
