American Icons

American Icons
Steve Gottlieb
Roberts Rinehart

Baseball, Yellowstone National Park, Friday night bowling, Thanksgiving dinner, cowboys, and the Statue of Liberty are among America’s shared symbols—its icons. In American Icons, photographer Steve Gottlieb has selected his list of the nation’s most important symbols and created a beautiful coffee table book of these powerful images.
To turn the pages of this book is to catch a glimpse of the symbols that form the values, history, and culture of America: the 18-wheeler in Jefferson County, Ohio; a Pecos County, Texas, longhorn; an Amish buggy in Lancaster, Pa.; the Iwo Jima Memorial in Roslyn, Va.; and a surfer at sunset at Venice Beach, Calif.
