Thames & Hudson

London, United Kingdom · since 1949

Thames & Hudson was founded in 1949 by Walter and Eva Neurath, with the aim of a ‘museum without walls’: illustrated books that bring art and the research of leading scholars to a large reading public. Walter Neurath, a Viennese émigré, had helped to pioneer book packaging at Adprint, where a book is conceived once and sold in several languages to spread its production costs; the new house was built on that co-edition idea. Its name links the rivers of London and New York, and its logo shows two dolphins facing east and west. Still independent and family-owned, it publishes across all areas of visual creativity, so photography sits beside art, architecture and design, in series such as Photofile and World of Art as well as in large monographs.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
