The Titanic, the Golden Gate Bridge, soldiers, workers, crowds, cities, and ordinary people suddenly feel less like historical artifacts and more like moments someone happened to photograph yesterday. Presented in reverse chronological order from 1949 back to 1839, each image is accompanied by historical context, maps, timelines, and voices from the period. It's the sort of coffee-table book you intend to casually flip through for five minutes and eventually realize you've been staring at for forty-five.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eHistory as They Saw It: Iconic Moments from the Past in Color\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Wolfgang Wild and Jordan Lloyd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures 120 restored and colorized historical photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImages span more than 100 years, from 1839 to 1949\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in reverse chronological order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes maps, timelines, historical context, and quotations from the periods depicted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures iconic events including the Titanic and construction of the Golden Gate Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e284 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 9.9\" × 11.1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Chronicle Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginally published in 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 978-1-4521-6950-7 \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors:  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWolfgang Wild and Jordan Lloyd\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Wild and Jordan Lloyd share an interest in a surprisingly consequential question:  what happens when history looks the way the people living through it actually saw it? Wild, founder of the historical photography project Retronaut, curated the images, while Lloyd painstakingly restored and colorized them using historical research to inform the details. Together, they've created something stranger than a conventional history book. The dates haven't changed. The events haven't changed. But once the past gets its color back, it becomes considerably harder to pretend the people in it belonged to some entirely different world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53622632317291,"sku":"9781452169507","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6534\/5899\/files\/VxUhI6n_Ur9781452169507.webp?v=1785288444","url":"https:\/\/www.goodbountythestore.com\/products\/history-as-they-saw-it-iconic-moments-from-the-past-in-color-hardcover","provider":"Good Bounty the Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
