Falconer, John Sail & Steam: A Century of Maritime Enterprise: 1840-1935: Photographs from the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich
United Kingdom Viking 1993 067084750X / 9780670847501 First Edition Hardback in Dustjacket Very Good Very Good
This large format hardback along with its dustjacket contain 192 printed pages. A well balanced blend of text and black and white photographs. The accession of Queen Victoria in 1837 heralded an age of unprecedented technological, economic and imperial expansion. Nowhere was this revolution more apparent than in the maritime world, which underwent a fundamental transition. The story of this unique period is told through photographs from the National Maritime Museum, chosen for their aesthetic power and their documentary significance. Selected from the most extensive collection of maritime photographs in the world, an archive of over 250,000 photographs, these images vividly recreate a world of romance, endeavour and hardship in their documentation of man's shifting, dramatic and often tragic relationship with the sea. This is a very good copy contained within a very good dustjacket that has a tiny corner tear.
