LIFE: Our Century in Pictures
LIFE: Our Century in Pictures is a substantial large-format photographic history of the twentieth century, published in 1999 by Bulfinch Press and Little, Brown and Company. Edited by longtime LIFE journalist Richard B. Stolley, with Tony Chiu serving as deputy editor and writer, it draws on LIFE magazine and other major photographic archives to trace the defining personalities, events, conflicts, discoveries and cultural changes of the century.
The volume presents more than 770 colour and black-and-white images arranged chronologically across major historical periods from 1900 through 1999. Photographs are accompanied by essays addressing subjects such as the world wars, the Depression, postwar prosperity, civil rights, cultural dissent and the technological changes leading into the new millennium. Its generous format makes it well suited as a reference volume, display book or gift for collectors interested in history, photography and photojournalism.
This is a brand-new hardcover copy with its dust jacket, still enclosed in the original plastic seal. The outer shrink wrap has normal wrinkles and slight bunching or looseness along portions of the left edge and corners, as shown in the photographs. Because the book remains sealed, the interior and exact printing statement have not been inspected. The volume measures approximately 11.25 by 9.75 by 1.63 inches and weighs about 5.7 pounds.
