Foxed Editions Mission Statement
Foxed Editions is a new imprint dedicated to the rediscovery of the photobook as a historical form. Its focus is on works that have slipped out of circulation or have remained at the margins of photographic history—books that are rare, overlooked, or insufficiently understood, yet which expand or complicate established narratives.
The programme combines two strands. The first is the facsimile republication of significant early photobooks, produced with careful attention to the material qualities of the original: format, sequencing, and print processes. The second consists of newly developed titles that map underexplored territories, often drawing on long-term research projects, archives, and private collections.
Foxed Editions is guided by an editorial approach that privileges selection and context. Each title is chosen not only for its intrinsic quality but for the way it contributes to a broader understanding of photographic publishing—whether as an early experiment, a regional tradition, or a body of work shaped by specific historical conditions.
The imprint operates within the RRB Photobooks framework, which provides design, production, marketing, and distribution. Editorial direction and production are led by Rudi Thoemmes and Björn Andersson, working in collaboration with a network of researchers, writers, and institutions.
Foxed Editions aims to make important but difficult-to-access works available again, while establishing a programme that connects collecting, scholarship, and publishing.
