Autumn

A stunning tribute to the majesty of autumn foliage around the world. From Japan to Connecticut to Ontario, from the amazing intricacy of a single leaf to the abstract splendor of birch trees reflected in a mountain lake, these photographs capture the cycles of nature, the mystery of transformation, and the beauty of the living world. Accompanied by an international selection of literary quotations on the themes of autumn, nature, and beauty, this volume transcends geography and individual cultures to showcase nature's most glorious season. When world-famous caricaturist Jean Mulatier made a trip to New England in the fall of 1976, he was so awestruck by the beauty of the fall foliage he realized he had found a lifelong passion. Every autumn thereafter he continued his pilgrimage, traveling the globe to shoot the jewel-like imagery that is presented here for the very first time in this incomparable collection.
