The Folio Society Book of the 100 Greatest Photographs

The Folio Society Book of the 100 Greatest Photographs by Mark Haworth-Booth 2006.

Unlike the 100 Greatest Paintings book, this was not a presentation volume, but a book for purchase that cost A$100 (about £55 in 2019) when released.

This time the selection was by Mark Haworth-Booth. The layout is the same with an introduction by the selector followed by the 100 photographs, each one appropriately described. They vary from the first daguerreotype ever taken of a Parisian street, to iconic pictures of cities *eg. New York) and personalities (eg. Christine Keeler).

The 220 page book comes in a black slipcase that has a montage of black and white photos printed on paper that has been pasted on the front. The book is bound in black metallic buckram inset with a daguerreotype portrait photo on the cover. The spine has the title in silver. The endpapers are light grey, and the dimensions are the same as the Paintings volume above.
