- Taschen is publishing a new book compiling 700 images drawn from National Geographic's archives chronicling a century of change in the US.
- The volume, showcased in a picture gallery, covers an eclectic visual range spanning blimps, burlesque performances, and brass bands.
- The book frames its narrative as one of 'dizzying change,' positioning the archive as a dramatic rather than nostalgic survey of American life.
Why it matters: A 700-image Taschen volume pulling from National Geographic's archive packages a century of American visual history into a single browsable artifact — giving readers a curated, physical counterpoint to the fleeting nature of digital image feeds.
