The iconic photographs from Jerry Uelsmann's celebrated career are given full range in this major retrospective organized by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.

The exhibit is Uelsmann's first retrospective in 40 years, and also includes hand–bound books of his prints and a video of a 16 mm. film by Uelsmann.
