A striking and essential compendium, The Photo Book celebrates the power and diversity of photography through a curated selection of iconic images from the 19th century to the late 20th century. First published by Phaidon Press in 1997, this landmark volume offers a sweeping visual history of the medium, featuring the works of over 500 photographers from around the world. The book showcases a rich variety of styles and subjects from documentary and portraiture to conceptual and experimental forms. It is presented in an engaging, alphabetically arranged format. The examples shown include David Hockney's My Mother, Bolton Abbey, Yorkshire (1982), a composite photographic collage capturing his mother in a meditative pose against the ruins of Bolton Abbey, and Jack Aeby's haunting color photograph The First Atomic Bomb (1945), the only known color image of the first nuclear test at Trinity, New Mexico. Together, these works encapsulate the range of artistic expression and historical resonance that define this collection. This large hardcover edition features its distinctive multicolored dust jacket emblazoned with the bold title THE PHOTO BOOK, and was printed in Italy. The book remains one of Phaidon's most recognized and influential art publications, widely considered a cornerstone reference for collectors, curators, and enthusiasts of photographic art.
