The Moiré Effect by Lytle Shaw (2012, Trade Paperback)

The life of legendary Swiss photographer Ernst Moir is so shrouded in speculation that he sometimes seems more like a phantasm than the flesh-and-blood figure whose name will forever be linked with the well-known printer's error. Yet as scholar Lytle Shaw reveals in The Moir Effect , when it comes to Monsieur Moir and his circle, fact is often stranger than fiction. Tracking the artist from his humble Alpine beginnings as the son of a postal clerk to his fateful founding of a Zurich photography studio in the 1890s and his subsequent role in the lives of a number of curious figures--including the legendary Dutch architect Mer Aws mbildungs, the theosophist philosopher Rudolf Steiner and several members of the secretive Chadwick family-- The Moir Effect takes readers on a journey from the elegant salons of Swiss palazzi to the dusty bowels of ancient archives to a conclusion as hair-raising as it is oblique.
