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.
