320 pages / numerous images 22.5 × 29 cm Edition of 300 (German / English) Design: Studio von Fuchs und Lommatzsch ISBN 978-3-9815735-5-8 Three volumes slipcased € 120 The three-volume set Voyager – The Grand Tour explores the intersection of science, photography and cultural history. Author and photographer Martin Eberle revisits NASA’s legendary Voyager mission and its extraterrestrial message: Voyager – Mission examines the mission’s scientific background and purpose. Voyager – Golden Record compiles the images carried on the record. Voyager – The Grand Tour documents Eberle’s photographic journey to the California institutions still overseeing the probes. Launched in 1977, Voyager I and Voyager II each carried an identical Golden Record containing images, sounds and messages from Earth. Eberle’s meticulous trilogy offers a bibliophilic reappraisal of this self-confident pinnacle of the space age, bringing its places, protagonists and technologies back into view while examining what the mission revealed about humanity’s image of itself.
