The Photo Book by the Editors of Phaidon Press.

Phaeton, 1997. Wraps, very good with slight wear at extremities.  Uncommon in softcover. Arranged in alphabetical order by photographer, one photo by each in black and white or color, often one of the photographer's most acclaimed images.  Most photographers are well known in the United States and the others more well known in Europe. “The Photography Book brings together 500 inspiring, moving and beautiful images of famous events and people, sensational landscapes, historic moments, sport, wildlife and fashion. Each photograph is discussed in detail, bringing it to life and giving us an understanding of this art form which is so influential in our everyday lives. A simple system of cross-referencing enables easy access to photographers working with a similar approach or using different means to capture the same subject. Glossaries of technical terms are also included, together with an international directory of museums and galleries where photography is regularly on display.” Very good with minor evidence of use on covers. 520 pages.
