{"product_id":"vintage-legal-volumes","title":"Vintage Legal Volumes Photography Print, Black and White Law Book Wall Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis black and white law book photography print follows worn legal volumes along a shelf in selective focus. Choose it for library wall art or a lawyer's office with a vintage literary subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeen at an angle, these English Law and Equity Reports form a row that recedes toward the left. I used black and white to concentrate on the worn bindings, dark title panels and changing sharpness across the books. The photograph stays close to the shelf, with very little to distract from the volumes themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNear the middle, fine cracks and pale patches are clear on the spines. Toward the edges, those details soften, although the broad bands of the bindings remain recognizable. I like the way that shift gives the row depth. It lets a few books hold the eye while the others continue the pattern beyond them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shelf draws a diagonal beneath the volumes, following the same retreat into the frame. Above them, the background is almost entirely dark. Between those two boundaries, the irregular tops and damaged edges stand out without needing a wider view of the room. The repeated title panels provide order, but the wear is different on every binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat drew me to these books was their physical presence: substantial volumes with surfaces worth examining slowly. I wanted the photograph to make that close attention possible, from the small lettering to the larger alternation of light and dark. The angled view keeps the image from feeling like a catalogue of separate objects. Instead, the books belong to one continuous shelf, with a few details emerging sharply and others slipping into softer tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2017\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":43615420186703,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":43615420219471,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":43615420317775,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":43615420252239,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602054414415,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":43615420285007,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":43615420350543,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Vintage-Legal-Volumes-Black-and-White-Book-Spine-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792389582","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/vintage-legal-volumes","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
