About the Book

Antique Clouds is the definitive coffee-table book of clouds, a pictorial exhibition of clouds from the last century. This photographic essay celebrates a hundred years of clouds in America - the romance of clouds - not their science. In this collection of antique photos from the time between the Civil War and the Great Depression, you will hopefully discover something of the whimsy of clouds. This book contains over 100 vintage high-quality color cloud photographs in the form of Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, Umbratypes, Calotypes, Talbotypes, Cyanotypes, Tintypes, Ferrotypes, and Aurotypes. All these photographs have been lovingly restored to their original colored tints, and each photograph is accompanied by an explanatory caption. Included essays and side-bars cover such topics as the Crimean War, Presidential elections, the bottling of clouds, historical Vulcanic and Vitalist theories of cloud formation, incidents of mercury poisoning by early cloud-photographers, attempts in the 1870s to photograph the clouds of Mars, stereoscopes, and a compendium of interesting stains found on antique photographs. About the Author: President of the American Society of Cloud-Enthusiasts, Jason Murk is from New Mexico, a land where summer clouds are so puffy-white that you want to reach out with a spoon and eat them because they're like marshmallows in the sky. The American Society of Cloud-Enthusiasts believes clouds should be allowed to emigrate from overcongested cloudy areas to sunnier climes, and for this reason, proceeds from your purchase of this book will be used to resettle under-privileged clouds. Published by the Oscura Press.
