Overview

Behind National Geographic’s worldwide reputation as a powerhouse of photography lies one of the finest, most extensive, and most unique graphic resources on Earth: the National Geographic Image Collection. For the first time ever, readers will plumb the fascinating depths of this immense archive from the earliest photographs collected in the late 19th century to the cutting-edge work of today. Both iconic and never-before-seen images from virtually every corner of the globe, every species of wildlife, and amazing human achievements in exploration, adventure, science, and more are showcased and placed in historic, artistic, technical, and journalistic context.

Following this lavish visual journey, readers will be awed by a behind-the-scenes profile of the entire collection, its size, its richly diverse character, and its special collections, ranging from delicate and beautiful Autochromes to the famous Alexander Graham Bell collection to the amazing stratosphere collection. Fine artwork and imaginative illustrations are also featured.

Finally, a listing of photographers whose work is represented stands as a fitting tribute to those without whose tireless and brilliant efforts the Collection would not exist.

    Magnificent Photos

    Many unpublished photos from the National Geographic archives. Formatted by theme. Beautiful. Inspiring. Dramatic.

    WOW - THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

    The photographs in this book were chosen from the National Geographic archives - a collection of immense proportions. So, as you can imagine, the photographs they chose to display in this book are fantastic.

    Beautiful Collection

    I bought this for my father hoping this would inspire him to go back to photography. It is a fascinating collection. The photos and writing are amazing. I especially love the older photos. It gives you a peak into the past.

    Excellent Gift for a world traveler

    After seeing a tv story about the book, I looked at it in the local B&N before ordering it as a gift. The recipient was thrilled with it.
