LOST: LOST AND FOUND PET POSTERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Book ID/图书代码： 11030004B00307

English Summary/英文概要： One of the first impulses of an owner who’s lost a pet is to canvas the neighborhood with quickly made posters. And even if we haven’t seen the wanderer in question, many of us stop to read these notices, which are often charming combinations of heartfelt pleas, humor, and handmade art.
For the last decade, Ian Phillips has collected lost pet posters from around world. In Lost, Phillips selects from his vast collection those posters notable for their cleverness, humor, sorrow, entreaties, rewards, and-in several instances-sheer outlandishness ("Lost Lost Lost: one brown and white ‘mottled’street duck. Does not answer to the name of Neither Norman").
For designers, artists, or anyone who wants to tap into the human and creative side of our everyday lives under stress, Lost is a book that tells a story on every page.
As a collection, the posters represent an authentic folk art that expresses a commonality between the readers and the makers from the United States to China. For pet owners everywhere, and for anyone who has very stopped to read a lost pet poster, Lost is a heart-warming tribute.

最讓人動容的素人創作

插畫家Ian Phillips蒐羅全世界協尋寵物的告示
流露出人類與動物之間 深厚且無可取代的情誼

一張張用真心與擔憂創作出的協尋啟事，訴說著人類與動物間令人動容的思念與無法斬斷的牽絆。

這些看似不起眼的協尋啟事，在本書作者、加拿大插畫家Ian Phillips的眼裡，每一幅都是了不起的藝術創作。他也想看看其他國家的協尋海報長什麼樣子，因此他走遍英、義、法、葡、荷、德、西、中、日等地，蒐集這些「素人創作」。

這些創作以文字、照片及插圖表現，除了狗、貓、兔子、老鼠、小鳥等常見的寵物，也有人找牛、鼬、蛇、龜等動物，甚至有狼！失蹤的寵物被飼主視為好友及家人，因此這些啟事充滿了動人的誠摯懇求，有些充滿無盡希望，有些是孩子以童稚的蠟筆筆跡畫出自己的擔心與對寵物的愛，也有無俚頭的詼諧海報，但都充滿飼主對寵物的無盡關懷。

在啟事的字裡行間，愛的各種形式一覽無遺：

愛是不計代價 – 懸賞金高達一萬美金
愛是不分美醜 – 我家的寵物沒有牙齒 / 沒有尾巴 / 耳朵聽不到 / 是六趾貓…
愛是憂心忡忡 – 我家的寵物該吃藥了 / 小朋友畫出流淚的臉龐、「CHILDREN CRYING」 / 「每當我走到前院，忍不住啜泣…」
