One of the most iconic photobooks of the twentieth century, Cowboy Kate & Other Stories by Sam Haskins marks a decisive shift in photographic storytelling expanding the medium into a cinematic and narrative form.
Centered around the character “Cowboy Kate,” portrayed by Anouska Hempel, the book unfolds through a sequence of stylized, Western-inspired scenes. Rather than functioning as isolated images, the photographs are constructed as a continuous visual narrative, echoing the rhythm and structure of film.
Haskins employs bold compositions, dynamic movement, and highly controlled sequencing using pacing and repetition to guide the viewer through the story. His approach challenged traditional photobook conventions and redefined the relationship between photography, fashion, and narrative.
A defining feature of the publication is its use of photogravure printing, producing exceptional tonal depth and contrast, reinforcing the cinematic quality of the work.
A landmark photobook widely regarded as one of the most influential and collectible works in fashion and narrative photography.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
