Jayne Hinds Bidaut revives the lost art of ferrotype and tintype in studies of exotic insects and classically draped nudes. In these photos, insects appear as large as humans, while people are scaled down to the size of bugs. Tintypes is prefaced with an essay by Eugenia Parry, Art Historian, who draws parallels between Bidaut’s photographs and the sympathetic visions of A.S. Byatt and Emily Dickinson. Beautifully bound in rich red cloth with debossed lettering, this book is an elegant addition to anyone’s library.
