Waterfalls of the World, Rita M. Barton, 1974,Vintage Pictorial Survey, First Edition

Waterfalls of the World is a beautifully calm vintage pictorial survey, published in 1974 by D. Bradford Barton.

Filled with atmospheric black and white photography from across the world, this is a book I love for slowing down with  the kind you leave open on the coffee table, returning to a single image with a coffee. There’s a quiet sense of scale and stillness running through the pages, capturing waterfalls as places shaped slowly over time.

A timeless piece for lovers of landscape photography, travel nostalgia, and gentle, contemplative styling, perfect for dipping into whenever you feel like wandering a little.
