Dominion

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHY

One of Britain’s foremost authors on the ancient world, Tom Holland has written a string of acclaimed histories – three of which, Rubicon, Persian Fire and Dynasty, have previously appeared in Folio editions. To produce a cover for Dominion, The Folio Society turned to Noma Bar, a prolific, international award-winning artist. His design is a triumph of visual simplicity: a modern skyline and tower reflecting their ancient counterparts, with the whole forming a cross. Inside, the image selection is energetic and inspiring. Each era in the book’s historical sweep is represented in the six sections of full-colour illustrations, from Roman ceramics featuring Paul the Apostle and Renaissance oil portraits of Mary Magdalene to photographs portraying slavery in the USA, celebrations at the fall of the Berlin Wall and Nelson Mandela’s election victory and the burning of records by The Beatles.
