About the Book: From Nicéphore Niépce's 1827 photograph of a roof, created with an eight-hour exposure, to Nick Ut's horror of napalm against civilians – all 50 photographs in this collection have defined eras, written history, or touched upon something so fundamentally human that they resonated worldwide. Each photo is described and analyzed in detail, revealing the history of the medium, as well as its social and artistic impact.
