Complete ten-volume Dutch-language edition of De 20e eeuw in beeld – The Getty Image Collection, published by Lannoo in 2017, preserving one hundred years of history through more than 2,500 photographs from the Getty Images archive. Each volume is devoted to a single decade, beginning with the 1900s and ending with the 1990s. Together they form an exceptionally accessible visual history of the twentieth century, covering political upheaval, two world wars, social and technological change, popular culture, fashion, cinema, music, sport and everyday life. The strength of the series lies in the interplay between documentary photography and concise historical commentary. Iconic photographs sit alongside lesser-known images, portraits and candid scenes, making the collection equally appealing as a historical reference work and as a set of photographic books. The individual volumes contain substantial captions and introductory texts placing the images within their historical context. Complete sets with all ten volumes and the original publisher’s slipcase are considerably more attractive than isolated individual volumes. Includes: 1900 – ISBN 9789401444743 1910 – ISBN 9789401444774 1920 – ISBN 9789401444798 1930 – ISBN 9789401444804 1940 – ISBN 9789401444811 1950 – ISBN 9789401444828 1960 – ISBN 9789401444835 1970 – ISBN 9789401444842 1980 – ISBN 9789401444859 1990 – ISBN 9789401444873. An attractive reference collection for readers and collectors interested in twentieth-century history, documentary photography, photojournalism, cultural history and the Getty Images archive. ⸻ AbeBooks Condition Description Very Good books / Good to Fair original slipcase. All ten volumes are complete and in very good overall condition, with clean interiors and only minor signs of handling and shelf use. The original publisher’s slipcase is present but shows considerably more wear than the books. There is pronounced rubbing and abrasion along the lower edge, including localized loss and damage to the outer paper/card surface, together with additional edge and corner wear. The slipcase nevertheless remains usable and continues to house the complete set. The condition issue is therefore principally confined to the outer slipcase; the ten books themselves remain notably well preserved. Please see the photographs, which form part of the condition description. …

Store description
Welcome to my carefully curated collection of second-hand, vintage and collectible books, based in Leuven, Belgium. I am a private bookseller and lifelong book lover with a particular interest in unusual, distinctive and hard-to-find titles. My collection is eclectic and includes literature, philosophy, history, art and design, film and cultural studies, science, psychology, travel, Belgian and European history, vintage editions, illustrated books and other specialist non-fiction. I particularly enjoy finding books that deserve to be rediscovered: overlooked editions, unusual publications, books on niche subjects and attractive older volumes that may be difficult to find in ordinary bookshops. Every book offered here is individually inspected. I aim to describe editions and condition carefully and honestly, including significant signs of age, wear, inscriptions, missing components or other imperfections whenever applicable. Photographs show the actual book whenever possible. Books are stored with care and securely packaged for shipping. I am happy to sell internationally and welcome collectors, researchers and readers from around the world. If you have a question about an edition, its condition, contents or additional photographs, please feel free to contact me through AbeBooks. Thank you for browsing my collection, and I hope you find a book here that has been waiting for exactly the right reader. A note about our shipping rates At The Second Chapter, we know that international shipping costs can sometimes seem high, particularly for destinations outside Belgium and neighbouring countries. We deliberately use reliable, traceable shipping with Track & Trace whenever possible. This is important for both you as the buyer and us as the bookseller: your order can be followed throughout its journey, and there is clear confirmation that the parcel has been delivered. Many of the books we offer are scarce, collectible, out-of-print or otherwise difficult to replace. For that reason, we prefer not to send valuable books using cheaper untracked postal services, where neither buyer nor seller can reliably determine what has happened if a parcel is delayed or lost. Our shipping charges therefore reflect the actual cost of secure postal shipment from Belgium (Bpost) rather than being used as an additional source of profit. We always package books carefully to protect them during their journey, and we aim to combine safe packaging, reliable delivery and transparent shipping costs. If you are interested in a book but feel that the quoted shipping cost to your country is unusually high, please feel free to contact us before ordering. Where the book’s weight, dimensions, value and destination allow it, we will gladly check whether a less expensive reliable shipping option is available. Thank you for supporting The Second Chapter and for giving pre-loved books another chapter in their story.…
