Past Presence
Victor Burgin’s book Family tells a brief history of the concept of the family as it intersects with the history of labor in the Western world. Burgin uses the format of an early childhood educational book, adding sometimes cryptic photographs and words to expand on the informative text on the reverse side of the pages.
