A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The past has never looked so alive as presented on the jaw-droppingly handsome pages of Retrographic, a ground-breaking book hailed in the media as a revolutionary new way to access the past. By gathering an exclusive collection of 120 of the world's most important images from photographic grandmasters such as Dorothea Lange and Alfred Eisenstaedt, as-well-as Pulitzer Prize winners Malcolm Brown and Nick Ut - this is a book which truly celebrates our shared visual heritage.
Through accepting Retrographic into its prestigious research collection, London's Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) has recognised the book's importance. Alongside rarer images, Retrographic transforms these world-famous classics from the black and white of the past, and allows these visual time-capsules to explode into the living colour of the 21st century.
The skilfully colourised photographs provided by Retrographic's talented team of international contributors are displayed alongside a fact-packed narrative from digital journalist Michael D. Carroll.

Revue de presse

"American history has never looked brighter as colorized images of historical moments and people are featured in Michael D. Carroll's new book, Retrographic: History's most exciting images transformed into living color." ----Daily Mail Online

"A BREATHTAKING collection of photographs from the past two centuries has been expertly coloured bringing a new perspective to famous events." ----Daily Star Online

"The end result from a team who is passionate about their craft, and connected to their work, is an endearing project that excels at connecting the past and the present through the act of colorization." F-Stoppers

"It's difficult to imagine some of the key points in history in full colour. Unless you were there to live through them, it may seem that key events all happened in black and white. Was life in colour before the mid 20th century? Of course, it was, and a new photography book has been released to help bring these images to a new audience in stunning and enlightening colour." ----EPhotoZine
