NEW: Mont-Saint-Michel
platinum prints by Michael Kenna
with text by Henry Adams

For years Michael Kenna has been recognized as one of the world’s leading photographers, an artist with so great a grasp of place that his way of seeing Stonehenge, Versailles, Easter Island, Hokkaido, and elsewhere has become "our" way of seeing them. Kenna has now turned his eye to Mont-Saint-Michel where light dawns through graceful arches, cascades down stairways and roadways, wraps itself around 900 year old Gothic architecture in a delicate embrace as it seeps into otherwise impermeable stone to illuminate it from within. Kenna has indeed created the photographic portrait of the island and its architecture, a body of work which rivals and complements Henry Adams’ classic Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres, the famed book which is the verbal portrait of the Mount. Our handmade, limited edition unites Adams’ words with Kenna’s images and contains a short introduction by John Wood and a scholarly essay by Lance Speer.
