The Aperture History of Photography Series

Sixteen volumes: A complete set of the publisher's monographs of 19th and 20th century photographers; each volume contains an introductory essay followed by between 40-50 reproductions; captions for the photographs and chronology of the photographers' lives at the rear; Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Walker Evans, August Sander, Dorothea Lange, Erich Salomon and others, and their contribution to the difficult to dispute adage that 'life is in colour but black and white is more real.'
