Stunning book!
Review by Jane on 07/15/21 review stating Stunning book!
... but very large heavy. I bought it as a gift but the recipient didn't want it - so much the better for me! I don't mind the size because the colorized photos are so beautiful and the layout of the book is thoughtfully and interestingly done that I'm happy to have it. Again - extremely large and heavy - and if you don't mind descriptions of English, German and French next to each other (can be distracting but I got used to it) - you won't regret purchasing this beautiful, one-of-a-kind book.

This was better than I expected. Very large, colorful photos of mostly landscapes and cityscapes. Kudos for capturing scenes freezing some significant American scenes
