Ancient and Modern is a collection of photographs chosen from Eggleston's earliest photographs taken in the American South, Africa and England.

Since the mid-1950s, Eikoh Hosoe has been at the forefront of photographic practice in Japan: as an image-maker encompassing a broad range of subjects; a curator introducing works of master European and American photographers to Japan in 1968; a teacher informing the careers of numerous distinguished photographers, such as Daido Moriyama. This book features Hosoe’s major photographic series but also reveals his lesser-known collaborative works with writers, critics, dancers, and artists, including Yayoi Kusama, in portraiture and beyond.

William Eggleston's Guide was the first one-man show of colour photographs ever presented at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Museum's first publication of colour photography. Shot between 1969 and 1971, the photographs displayed in the exhibition and in this publication present a deceptively casual look at the surrounding world – with photographs of people, landscapes and odd little moments in and around Eggleston's home town of Memphis.
In the late 1950's Weinberger started to develop an obsessive interest in the nascent biker culture and its proud and self-confident celebration of the body, embarking on a longtime study of their lifestyle. Weinberger's photographs are a unique document both of pre-Stonewall gay culture and postwar youth culture and its cycles, imbued with a mischievous sense of humour that makes them as vibrant and vital today as they were when they were first taken.
Lee Miller (1907-1977) began her artistic career in 1929 as a Surrealist photographer in Paris. She produced images, often in collaboration with Man Ray, in which she alienated motifs by means of tight framing and experimental techniques, and in doing so rendering visible a paradoxical reality. The publication provides renewed access to her best works, including early Surrealist compositions as well as travel photos that later came to shape her photography oeuvre.

His acclaimed television documentaries on Andy Warhol, Cecil Beaton and Luchino Visconti provided yet more opportunities for compelling stills.
