Just wonderful!

Doug S.,December 6, 2024
There are few books that I love more than TASCHEN's "1900 Photochrome" series. This latest book is no exception either! Page after page of gorgeous photos of a bygone time that is breathtaking to look at. Just wonderful! Kudos to the editors for compiling this tome also! I for one am hoping that this series continues on!
