The Passionate Collector
From anvils to zithers, collectors form collections of a surprising
variety of subjects. The Passionate Collector includes portraits
of collectors of pin-ups, spurs, nuts, tractors, Edsels, whiskey
stills, animal traps, cash registers, carnivorous plants, and
maps of Transylvania, for starters.
Of the hundred and fifty photographs of different collections,
seventy were published in the book The Passionate Collector, along
with a foreward by Ellen Land-Weber, and an introductory chapter
about the spirit of collecting by Walter Benjamin. Published by
Simon and Schuster in 1980, a few signed copies of the book
are available from the author.
Technical note: All images were photographed with a 4 x 5 view camera. All photographs are copyright © 1980-2019 to Ellen Land-Weber. Written permission is required for reproduction by any means.
