History in 100 photographs

Arranged chronologically, this collection uses a century-spanning sequence of photographs to chart two centuries of global history. The selected images range from the opening of King Tut’s tomb and the Wright brothers’ first flight to Nagasaki and the first footsteps on the Moon. Each is paired with commentary on its historical context and significance, bringing famous images together with lesser-known photographs. The book’s structure makes photography both the subject and the organizing lens for events that have entered collective memory.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in modern world history presented through images.
