Seacoast Maine: Photographs by George Tice

by George A. Tice (Photographer), John K Hanson (Introduction)

A visual celebration that captures Maine's rockbound coastline, its precarious and isolated islands, its independent and hardworking people. From the fogs off Eastport to the lobster boats off Monhegan, from the grain elevators of Portland to the Shakers of Sabbathday Lake, photographer George Tice has created page after page of dauntingly beautiful images – 107 quadtone photographs in all.

Praise for Seacoast Maine

Tice's black and white photos give a haunting look to old, weather-beaten houses and the water and rocky coast look harsh in many photos of the jagged shoreline. The works have such a timeless look, that it is hard to tell the difference between forty-year-old photos and those taken in this decade.
—ForeWord Magazine, Dec 2 2009

This is an important book for many reasons. It is important as a record of a passing way of life, of a New England that is fast declining in the wake of tourism and urbanization. And it is important as a document of a time and place.
