To commemorate 75 years of the publishing house Thames & Hudson, historian Nyburg contributes three essays chronicling its evolution from its founding in 1949 to the present. From the start, Austrian émigré Walter Neurath and his partner, Eva Feuchtwang, aimed to produce a “museum without walls”: beautiful and affordable illustrated books on arts and culture. They chose to name their company after two important rivers, in London and New York, nodding to their international aspirations. Their inaugural volume, published in 1950, was English Cathedrals. Early partnerships with the American publisher Abrams and the French publisher Fernand Hazan expanded their list, and more international alliances followed; the company eventually had offices around the world. Titles often were suggested by the many cultural figures who served as T&H’s eyes and ears. As their publication of art books grew—100 titles about Picasso alone—so did their reputation for the high quality of their reproductions. Nyburg discusses the many series they developed over the years: Man and Myth, edited by Joseph Campbell; The Past in the Present, edited by archaeologist Jacquetta Hawkes; World of Art, edited by noted art historian Herbert Read; Art and Imagination; and the Library of European Civilization, among scores more on architecture, photography, biography, design, music, and fashion. After Neurath’s death in 1967, T&H was led by his son, Thomas, along with his daughter, Constance, and Feuchtwang; Thomas stepped down in 2005, leaving two daughters in key positions in a company that had expanded both in England and abroad. Alert to cultural and technological changes, T&H titles came to include topics as diverse as countercultural movements and chocolate. The visually stunning volume contains 2,000 illustrations, 1,800 in color.
