Colorama: The World's Largest Photographs

Colorama: The World's Largest Photographs by Roalf, Peggy. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781931788441.

Billed as “The Worlds Largest Photographs,” Eastman Kodaks 18-by-60-foot Coloramas brought photography to the masses with a spectacular display of communicative power. During its 40-year run in Grand Central Terminal in New York City, the Colorama program presented a panoramic photo album of American scenes, lifestyles and achievements from the second half of the twentieth century. Produced in association with the George Eastman House Collection, Colorama explores the history of these colossal images. A selection of the most striking images are beautifully reproduced, making these images available to viewers nostalgic for American life in decades gone by, as well as people with a personal connection to the original display in Grand Central Station.
