Eleven books of A. Aubrey Bodine photography have been published.
The five most recent books have been released by Jennifer B. Bodine, Aubrey's daughter.
In August 2005, Jennifer released
Bodine's Chesapeake Bay Country.
This was the first time in over 30 years a collection of
286 of Bodine's finest work are available in a book.
Some of these images have never been seen before, and some not seen since they
were originally published in the Baltimore Sunday Sunpapers.
In 2011 Jennifer's second book,
Bodine's City, was released. Again published by
Schiffer Books, this is an incredibly high quality volume.
Printed in tri-tone (meaning three shades of black) and using a stochastic pattern,
this process is similar to the one we use to produce reprints of Bodine's images. As a result
it has been priced slightly higher than Jennifer's first book. Again, you will receive a signed
copy when you order from our website.
Jennifer's third book is Bodine's Industry,
The Dignity of Work, released in 2013.
Bodine recorded people at work in their daily jobs. I have always been struck
by how Bodine captured the man (and woman) behind the job. As recent economic events have demonstrated,
a job can not be taken for granted.
Jennifer's fourth book is Trains Photography of
A. Aubrey Bodine, released in 2018. This book is A. Aubrey Bodine's archive of train photographs,
chronicling mid twentieth century rail transportation and the people working on the railroad.
Bodine's images of steam and diesel locomotives document an era passed.
Released in 2020, Annapolis Photography of
A. Aubrey Bodine is Jennifer's fifth book. These 168 images demonstrate Bodine's pictorialist and modernist photographic
eye for mansions, government buildings, city streets, dock scenes, and sailboat racing -
encapsulating the essence of Annapolis from 1928 to 1970.
The six earlier books were organized from a regional perspective or a locale. They
collect the images celebrating the rich diversity of the local
geography - Maryland, Virginia and,
of course, the Chesapeake Bay.
Aubrey felt a deep love for this region and saw its beauty - he
allowed us to see his vision through his powerful images.
Two earlier books were released after Aubrey died.
Legend In His Time,
is a biography written by Aubrey's editor at the Baltimore Sun
Magazine, Hal Williams. It
was written shortly after Aubrey's death as a retrospective look at
the life and work of a character he had grown to know quite well.
Baltimore Pictorialist, looks at the art of A. Aubrey
Bodine with a focus on the pictorialist style which Aubrey employed so
well. It presents five decades of Aubrey's art, sets the context
for pictorialism, and the effect of pictorial photography in the
newspaper.
There are numerous other books illustrated with licensed images
from the A. Aubrey Bodine collection.
