Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, and Arthur Elgort, "Chronorama" offers an unparalleled showcase of some of the most significant photographic art ever created for the magazine page.

Organized by decade, this book begins with the 1910s and concludes with the 1970s, providing historical context and backstories that highlight the cultural and artistic evolution of each era.
