ABOUT THE BOOK

Altered Ancestors, illustrated by artist Amy “BannerQueen” Johnquest, is her version of a family photo album of resurrected lost souls. Johnquest takes original Victorian era photographs (also known as cabinet cards) that have been discarded to flea market bins and gives new life by painting directly onto them. Curious and quirky, the book, which has been beautifully designed by James McDonald Books of Northampton, MA, contains over 70 artfully tantalizing images. Never be lonely again with your new adopted ancestors.
