Hippalus Winds Artist's Book by Rachel Simmons

$350.00

“Based on classic tales of early ocean exploration and my experiences traveling by ship to Antarctica and around the Galàpagos Islands, Hippalus Winds pairs found imagery with excerpts from the fictional diaries of two first-century CE explorers. Stab-bound with metal rivets and engraved wood, the sequence of vividly-colored risograph prints contains fanciful nautical maps crawling with sea monsters and cannibals, and early illustrations of the Earth as a dome-covered disc. The voices of Eudoxus a wealthy Greek privateer, and his navigator Hippalus, who discovered the passage from the Red Sea to India by predicting monsoon winds, alternate between regret and intrigue as they experience stormy seas, visit unknown islands and make new discoveries.” -Rachel Simmons

8.5” x 11” x 0.25”

*Consignment item. Not eligible for 10% membership discount. All consignment purchases are final and non-refundable once shipped.
