R. Clarke-Davis [3 works], Astoria Bouquets, Off Season, Baltimore Ferryland, kiddy viddy press, 2023

Three new works in Clarke-Davis' a book of wander series with the first two using his 'puzzle book' fold that gives extra flaps to two pages, and the third one is presented in a long oblong format with the images printed on a thin delicate paper and is the longest of his accordions that I've seen.  As is typical of Clarke-Davis' accordions there's an underlying theme of travel and place, with the photographs foregrounding different features of these locations — Astoria Bouquets is a good example.
