Jacob Mandeville was a talented photographer, and a bizarre individual. He mixed science, religious belief and moral convictions and in doing so lost sight of the boundary between fiction and reality. Born in 1926, in york, England. He started keeping journals since 1957. This book is filled with beautiful and bizarre band and white plates and his hand written notes and comments. A special and rare diary.
The Journals Of Mandeville Jacob is a photographic artist book featuring the chaotic archive of Jacob Mandeville, a talented photographer who lived in York, England, Würzburg, Germany, and Berlin. The work consists of five journals (I-V) documenting Mandeville's experiences between 1957 and 1971. These documents include silver gelatin photographs and handwritten notes that explore themes of science, religious belief, and moral convictions. The book captures Mandeville's bizarre journey, including his time as a window cleaner in Berlin and his obsession with finding the 'Gates of Paradise.' Albin Biblom compiled these materials from private collections to create a visual narrative of Mandeville's inner logic and mental instability.
