Le Tour du Monde en 125 Ans, edited by Reuel Golden, in three volumes, with essays by the historian Douglas Brinkley and by Mark Collins Jenkins.
Reuel Golden is a British editor and writer, formerly editor of the British Journal of Photography, who has edited Taschen's photographic books for close to twenty years — among them the Rolling Stones, Andy Warhol and New York volumes. Here he works through one of the largest photographic archives in existence, built up since the magazine's founding in 1888.
The set is split by region — Amérique du Nord et du Sud & Antarctique, Europe et Afrique, Asie et Océanie. The photography moves from hand-coloured plates of the Sphinx and the Taj Mahal through to the magazine's modern colour work, so it reads as a history of the medium as much as a tour of the world.
Douglas Brinkley is an American historian and professor at Rice University, the author of books on Theodore Roosevelt, Rosa Parks and Hurricane Katrina, and a longtime contributor to Vanity Fair. Mark Collins Jenkins spent years as a historian in National Geographic's own archive and has written several books drawn from it.
Each volume sits in its own cream slipcase with the title blocked in gold and a colour plate set into the front. The boards have a fine vertical grain that reads as linen from a distance. Stunning, heavy books, and the slipcases are snug, so the volumes sit flush rather than rattling. All three come in their original sleeves.
Photographed honestly, in natural light, exactly as it is. No surprises when your new favourite thing arrives.
Everything we sell is 100% authentic. No reproductions, no replicas.
