Picture of Black Death book 		The Black Death by Philip Zeigler
Rats, disease, and murderous hailstorms (as if the rats weren't enough). Authentic early images at this period are limited, but a fascinating project to research (though somewhat gruesome).

Picture of Anthem 		Anthem for Doomed Youth
The First World War is a particular area of interest for me, due to the poignant subject matter and the frequently exceptional quality of images taken in what must have been some of the most arduous conditions ever known to man. This collection of poems was illustrated with photographs of the Great War and portraits of the poets.
