| 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 teh wanderer in question, many of us stop to read these notices with their charming comginations of heartfelt pleas, humor, and handmade art. For the last decade, Ian Phillips has collected lost and found pet posters from around the world. In LOST, Phillips chooses those most notable for their cleverness, humor, sorrow, entreaties, rewards, and - in several instances - sheer outlandishness. As a collection, the posters represent an authentic folk art that expresses a commonality between their makers and readers from the United States to China.
