This special volume brings together the milestone moments of photographic history in a single book, gathering the 50 most powerful images of our visual memory. From Nicéphore Niépce’s first rooftop photograph taken in 1827 with an eight‑hour exposure to Nick Ut’s iconic “napalm girl” shot, the selection not only charts the evolution of photographic art but also reveals humanity’s shared heritage. Each photograph is examined in detail, reflecting its social, historical, and artistic context and offering a window onto different eras. Photo Icon will serve not only as an art book in your collection but also as a visual archive bearing witness to history. Published by TASCHEN, December 2019. English. Hardcover, 432 pages.
