Charlotte Dumas built her reputation on attentive portraits of working animals, and *Entendue* turns that scrutiny toward a subject bound up with her own history. The book sets photographs Dumas made with her father’s half-frame camera alongside pencil drawings he produced near the end of his life. Together they describe a shared habit of looking: childhood trips to Blijdorp Zoo in Rotterdam, where father and daughter sketched elephants together, and a last visit near the end of his life. In his pencil drawings from their final visit, the elephants appear as abstractions—marks the publisher describes as direct and genuine, closer to children’s art than to studied observation.

Rather than treating the drawings as private mementos or the photographs as documentation, Dumas lets them sit together as an attempt to give weight and presence to these animals. The publisher frames the book as a contemplation of our often complex relationships with animals and of the importance of being able to empathise with other sentient beings. The photographs, made with her father’s half-frame camera, carry the intimacy of a family instrument.

Fw:Books, the Amsterdam independent publisher, has produced a hardcover of 64 pages at 24 by 29 centimeters, with English text.

For a collector, the interest lies less in scarcity than in the book’s particular structure. The meeting of her photographs and her father’s drawings connects two ways of attending to the same animals. *Entendue* extends Dumas’s long engagement with animals into a more personal key, and it stands as a considered example of what an independent photography publisher can do with a small, tightly focused project.
