Jack Burman is a Canadian photographer, well-known for his hypnotic collection of still-life's of preserved human specimens. This special edition hardcover of "The Dead" is in perfect condition, and still has the original paper slip that wraps around the book. This incredibly rare book is near-impossible to find in such spectacular condition. 
 
"The photographs are shocking in their intimacy. With clear respect in their representation, Jack Burman works excruciatingly close to their humanity, and to their death.” Excerpt from the foreword by Martha Hanna, Director of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography.
