Chronorama: Treasures from the Condé Nast Archives 1910-1980 is an impressive photography volume curated by Condé Nast. Chrono—referring to space-time—and rama—referring to sight—are the cornerstones of this notable art record that depicts the third decade of the 21st century. This decade had the potential to be another Roaring Twenties, during which Condé Nast Publications experienced meteoric growth.

Taken from the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, House & Garden, GQ, and Glamour, the nearly 400 stunning original vintage prints and illustrations within this tome are by top photographers. These include luminaries such as Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Eduardo Garcia Benito, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, and Arthur Elgort. The result is an unprecedented showcase of some of the most important works ever to be produced for the magazine page.
