Photography: The Definitive Visual History (DK Definitive Cultural Histories)

This is an amazingly well-produced book. Not just superb photos but a genuinely well-researched text... or texts. The way the information has been divided up makes for superb coverage: almost every important figuere in the history gets a page to themselves AND the coverage goes really wide: there is a wonderful diversity in the coverage. The technical developments and developments in the wider culture are well-integrated. Many of the most famous individual photos are given their own space and their story told. This really is an ingenious treatment of the history of photography. I have copies of all of the competition on my shelves. This is in a class of its own.

Great book.... good photos and also some great artists included

This is a real treat and a source of much valuable information for anybody interested in photography. I received it as a birthday present and it has pride of place on my coffee table. It covers both biographical and technical subjects in some depth, and much else besides. This is not a how-to book, but will provide much pleasure if you enjoy browsing. Highly recommended.

Good Read

This is a super book, a great selection of images and info, and a brilliant springboard into further research.

What a lovely book, very informative and gives you plenty of information about photography..I would recommend everyone buy this book as it’s brilliant.

Ordered as a complement to the DK's "Art: The Definitive Visual Guide", met my expectations completely. It is quite comprehensive and the quality is very good.

Great graphics and concise text clearly set out the development of photography and the equipment used throughout the history of photography. A great book for photographers and those interested in the photograph.

O livro vale a pena, é interessante e lindo, vale a pena.Unica coisa má foi no transporte, tenho pena que o pacote não tenha proteção, facilmente se resolvia se tivesse uma proteção em plástico duro ou em plastico bolha, ele veio com algumas pancadas.

Amazing book and contains indepth history of photography and old cameras..!!

Sicuramente un libro molto molto bello e interessante per un appassionato di fotografia! Consigliato.

Very beautiful and useful and also informative book.

Im Buch findet man viele der "bekanntesten" Fotos und Fotografen der letzten gut hundert Jahre, inkl. kurzer Biografie/Beschreibung. Toller Überblick und ein ideales Geschenk für Fotografen :-)
