Small town idylls at first glance are revealed on closer inspection to be the forgotten remnants of times long past. The faded glory of the \"Good Old South\" is captured here, both in its morbid beauty and as a manifestation of the ephemeral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carefully crafted images reflect unsparingly the demise of the South's small towns, their suffering particularly tangible following the financial and economic crisis. The intense colours in the images, which capture the southern sunlight, seem to jar uncomfortably with the \"grey\" reality they portray. Yet they act as a powerful plea not to allow the buildings and infrastructure of these places to be wholly abandoned, a call to truly embrace the historic legacy they embody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDays Gone By\u003c\/em\u003e invites the viewer to reflect on these poignant landscapes, encouraging a deeper connection with the past and a commitment to preserve these essential elements of cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470385660140,"sku":"9783716518410","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783716518410-days-gone-by.jpg?v=1775217988"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jorg-rubbert.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
