FUN VIDEO WITH THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS ABOUT PROJECT
A 26-Part Victorian-Style monthly Installment Publication, inspired by the 175th anniversary of Walt Whitman's publication of Leaves of Grass
Subscribe to receive two new chapters of Emeralders each month—David La Spina’s Serialzine of the Clinton Hill neighborhood told through photographs, unfolding in the spirit of 19th-century serialized fiction.
Emeralders revives the Victorian tradition of Grub Street serialized publishing—think Dickens or Doyle—reimagined for the twenty-first century through the language of photography. Each monthly installment arrives as two volumes of twelve-page signatures on Mohawk Superfine, the archival paper that museums and fine-press bookmakers trust for its permanence and tactile clarity.
Over the course of the year, you’ll watch the story build, accumulate, and reveal itself—an unfolding photographic narrative rooted in the past but grounded in the present.
When your subscription is complete, you’ll receive a custom slipcase designed to house all 26 signatures, transforming the series into a cohesive, limited-edition artist book.
10% of all sales will be donated to a Clinton Hill food bank.
