A gorgeous glimpse at a strange world beyond
our imagination...where Christopher Columbus
brought the zombie virus to the New World, the
African Savannah is home to dinosaurs, and one
of the Founding Fathers was a robot.
In Alternate Histories of the World, Matthew Buchholz presents print-
quality vintage photographs and illustrations “enhanced” with images of
monsters, robots, zombies, UFOs, and other mythical elements. Along
with the stunning images, wry commentary makes this a totally new and
fantastical take on what we thought we already knew.
“Buchholz imagines the past a little differently...he sees redcoats and
steamboats, galleons and waistcoats, but he also sees monsters at the
Battle of Bunker Hill and UFOs fueling the Great Chicago fire.”
