Photo Icons: The Story Behind the Pictures 1827-1991 by Hans-Michael Koetzie
The Taschen label specialises in books on photographs and this chronological study of 36 of the most iconic and historic of images is nothing if not informative! Each image is examined in its historic context, the photographer's methods and motives are discussed, other images from the same session are compared and contrasted and all in all the reader is left with a much clearer understanding of the historic importance of each of the selected photographs.
