アメリカ人フォトグラファー、スティーブン・ショア（Stephen Shore）の作品集。アメリカの出版社「NAZRAELI PRESS」が手がけるプリント付き作品集シリーズ『ONE PICTURE BOOK』の第73巻。

アーティストによるオリジナル作品を手軽に購入できるよう1998年に同出版社によって考案されたこのシリーズは、各タイトル500部限定発行、装丁やページ数が統一された手に取りやすいサイズで作られており、サイン入りのオリジナルプリントが書籍に添付されている。本シリーズは2016年に100タイトルで完結し、続編としてリニューアルした『ONE PICTURE BOOK TWO』へと移行している。

In Pet Pictures, Stephen Shore presents a series of photographs he has made over the years of his pets - barnyard and domestic alike. With his portraits of Annabelle to Zaza, in all four seasons, Shore shares a loving record of life on his family farm. The book reaches its crescendo with an original signed photograph of Pete the dog who, when wearing his bandana, has been sometimes confused for a boy scout. An extremely limited number of copies are available at this price, and are offered on a first-come, first served basis.

NAZRAELI PRESS' popular One Picture Book series was conceived in 1998 as a way to make original artwork affordable. The series consists of uniformly designed, modestly-sized hardcover books, comprising 16 pages that serve as a “canvas” for the artist to display one cohesive body of work. Each title is limited to 500 numbered copies and includes an original tipped-in photograph, signed on the verso by the artist. The One Picture Book series ended in 2016 with its 100th title and has now moved to a new upgraded One Picture Book Two series.
