Book Reviews of Photo Icons I (Icon (Taschen)) (v. 1)
Book Review: GREAT HISTORY
Summary: 5 Stars
If you enjoy history details and great photography, this is the one for you. It is a Taschen book, and as always, you get great printing and wonderful layout. You definitely get the stories behind some of the fantastic photographs in history, such as "Emperor Maximilian's Shirt," "Sarah Bernhardt" portraits, early nudes, "Bismarck on his Deathbed," etc., etc. - one wonderful photo after another. And the author also explains some of the techniques and background in the era when the photos were taken. Very well done and quite enjoyable...a valuable visual source for historians and writers. Bravo!
