Overview

From cute children's books to fairytale art, the unicorn is alive and well in the world today. During the late Middle Ages, the hunt for the unicorn was considered a symbolic story about love. It has also been interpreted with Christian symbolism relating to the Passion of Christ. Today's viewers bring an entirely different context to the tapestries. This mythical animal is considered to be magical in the most powerful of ways. The innocence and purity it represents through its beauty and its white coat captivate modern people. The unicorn's power resonates in a series of tapestries woven hundreds of years ago. Explore these enigmatic weavings through an artist's interpretation with the full-color photos of Utopia of the Unicorn: The Hunt of the Unicorn Tapestries (a Travel Photo Art book). In the Travel Photo Art series, traditional tourism panoramas mix with arthouse aesthetics. These slim, passport sized productions are your passport to new perspectives on famous places. Peer around corners and discover a unique way to interact with monuments and memorials you thought you knew. This popular series includes titles that mix text with the pictures. Books like Notre Dame Cathedral: Our Lady of Paris, featuring photos taken months before the 2019 fire, become keepsakes associated with a specific site. Titles like Lidice Lives and Terezin and Theresienstadt are deeply meaningful for families touched by the Holocaust. Laine Cunningham, a three-time recipient of The Hackney Award, writes fiction that takes readers around the world. Her debut novel, The Family Made of Dust, is set in the Australian Outback, while Reparation is a novel of the American Great Plains. She is the editor of Sunspot Literary Journal.
