En savoir plus sur le livre
This compendium of sports photography tells the story of the way sport has been shown through the medium of photography from 1900 to the present. Selected from the archives of Allsports, a leading name in sports photography - and incorporating the Hulton Getty sports collection - the photographs reveal themes from amateurism to professionalism, wide views to tight focus, black and white to colour, and from local to international. Everything gets faster, brighter and brasher as the century progresses. Each of the five chapters is introduced with a discussion characterising the developments of the era, and the pictures are broken into sequences with a short paragraph of associated text explaining the point that the selection is illustrating. Many of the most famous personalities of the century are represented, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Ronaldo, Pele, George Best, Ayrton Senna, Shaquille O'Neill, Sugar Ray Robinson, Diego Maradona, Jesse Owens, Roger Bannister, Jim Jeffries and Stirling Moss.
