NEW | Ahoy Sailor! offers the reader another mesmerizing foray into the mind of ubercollector and archivist of the everyday, Daniel Rozensztroch.

Rozensztroch’s interests have moved fruitfully between the specific (Spoon and Herring) and the general (A Life of Things), but now they journey out to sea, gathering and presenting a singular collection of objects, images, and representations of sailors and seamen. The ocean has inspired an expansive world of vernacular and popular imagery, much of it uncanny and unique, produced by the tension between the laws of nature that rule the oceans and the miniature floating societies left to their mercy. Meticulously drawn together, and with an individuality that has become his trademark, Rozensztroch gives the reader a visual feast that ranges from antique toys and postage stamps to French artist Jean Cocteau’s beguiling sketches found in Jean Genet’s cult-classic Querelle de Brest.

DANIEL ROZENSZTROCH was a longtime consultant to the magazine Marie-Claire Maison and is the former creative director of Merci in Paris, France. He is also the co-author of a number of titles in the Style Series published by Clarkson N. Potter / Random House, as well as a number of books on the subject of everyday things that include Herring: A Love Story, Spoon, and A Life of Things (Pointed Leaf Press).
