By Hans-Michael Koetzle. The Story Behind the Pictures.
This showcases important landmarks in the history of photography with over 300 images. Each chapter focuses on a single image (and supporting photos), which is described and analyzed in detail, in aesthetic, historical, and artistic contexts. An outstanding collection, from the first permanent images (such as Louis Daguerre's famous 1839 street scene) to the avant-garde photography of Man Ray, Robert Doisneau, Helmut Newton, and Robert Mapplethorpe. Packed with the stories of our cultural history.
