Traveling the Peruvian Andes, Fox Solomon
jumped off the back of a pickup truck to photograph
a landscape and found a woman nursing a lamb..
The
book comes in a patented pop-up display box. The
cover photo, Catalin Valentin's Lamb,
is printed in the Fox Solomon studio and lacquered
at the Minsky Studio.
This artist book is about the photo.
There are two journal entries, with related photos
of people and a landscape.

This is a new format
for an artist book that has never been used for an
edition.
It is a portable archival installation, exhibition,
and storage system.
Side view: the box top folds under the
easel and raises it for easy removal of the book.
An adjustable strut in the box enables the book to
be displayed at different angles.
The photo raised controversial
responses when it was featured on the Back Page
of the Utne Reader in July of 1988. In
the following issue the photo was again printed,
with readers' responses ranging from "Repulsed"
to "A picture of compassion." It was
printed again in their Tenth Anniversary Issue.
A drawer in the side of the box
contains three issues of the Utne Reader,
July/Aug 1988, Sept/Oct 1988, March/April 1994.
"Readers respond to Catalin Valentin's
Lamb". Utne Reader, September/October
1988.
