3.0 out of 5 stars A few pictures per country, May 7, 2009

Jackal (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The World in 1900: A Colour Portrait (Paperback)

This a basically a bunch of colorized black and white pictures organised by country. A lot of different countries are represented, even Singapore. The problem with the book is that many of the pictures are not that interesting. This is no doubt the case because we only get a few pictures from each country. You feel like seeing more pictures from countries that you are familiar with

3.0 out of 5 stars not color photos, March 26, 2009

JLT "JLT" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The World in 1900: A Colour Portrait (Paperback)

Photochromes are tinted B&W pics, not color pics. They're pretty, but they're not the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars A step back into time, July 22, 2008

Bonny (Estonia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The World in 1900: A Colour Portrait (Paperback)

This book opens up a world which would otherwise have been totally lost. 108 years after the year 1900, I was able to see the world as it existed then, in colour!!

The sight of bedouins armed with muskets, passengers offloading from ferries, city views from around the world - its all in there. I saw the back cover and knew that I had to own this fine book.

Now I have 2 items from 1900 - this book and a Obie 1900 Mauser Rifle. I cant wait to catch hold of some more things from the amazing 1900s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book for the pictures, not for the text.
The 300 reproductions of photochromes from the turn of the 20th century are excellent and well worth the price of the book. The accompanying text is unreliable. E.g. Read more
