20th Century Photography - Thryft
20th Century Photography - Thryft

Comprehensive chronicle of pivotal 20th-century photography.

If you're passionate about the evolution of photography, this book is like a time capsule that encapsulates an entire century's worth of creativity and innovation. This isn't just a parade of images; it's a curated experience that offers insight into how photography grew into a respected art form. Think of it as a visual history lesson that doesn't just tell but shows the impact of photography across diverse styles and movements.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
