Ferenc Máté

A New England Autumn

A Sentimental Journey

An incredibly moving salute to the majesty of an Eastern fall.

This magnificent collection of photographs is a journey through back roads and hidden corners of America’s most idyllic and beloved region. Each scene, suffused with color and light, brings a moment of private discovery and awakens a sense of home.

Interlaced with images of fiery leaves, a small town’s wharf at dusk, the serenity of a waterfall, and immemorial farmsteads are the poetry and prose of Dickinson, Thoreau, Frost, Poe, and many more. Their words complement nature’s meditative simplicity, and for that instant time stands still.

“Here are autumn scenes from Maine to Connecticut’s seacoast to Woodstock’s pastoral hillsides, rocky beaches, old cemeteries ... the words evoke nostalgia—the photographs inspire one to visit.”—Los Angeles Times

“Máté has excelled in capturing with rare precision not only the ephemeral scenes of autumn, but also the poignancy that this season evokes.”—North Shore News

Ferenc Máté’s five books of photography include the highly acclaimed World’s Best Sailboats and Autumn. He lives with his wife and son in a thirteenth-century friary in Tuscany where they run the Máté winery.
