Synopsis
Edited by Peter Stepan.
In lavish two-page spreads, this book presents more than ninety of history's most memorable photographs - from the Wright Brothers' first flight to the bombing of Pearl Harbour, from Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech to Nelson Mandela's release from prison.
The volume features pictures from photography masters such as Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, Yousuf Karsh, Diane Arbus and James Nachtwey, as well as iconic images from lesser-known and anonymous photographers.
Now available as an attractively priced flexi edition, Photos That Changed the World has been updated to include indelible images of the most significant recent events.
Engaging essays accompany each photograph and tell the story behind each image.
