“Pilgrimage,” a photo book by American photographer Annie Leibovitz. Leibovitz is best known for photographs such as those of John and Yoko taken before his assassination, but she began her career in the early 1970s as a photojournalist for *Rolling Stone* magazine and went on to work for publications such as *Vanity Fair* and *Vogue* in the 1980s. She has also made a strong impact with advertising campaigns for brands like GAP and is highly regarded for her fashion and celebrity portraits, establishing herself as one of America’s leading photographers. This photo book, released in 2011 with a cover featuring the majestic Niagara Falls, bears a title that means “pilgrimage.” She traveled to sites associated with America’s great figures—including photographer Ansel Adams, poet Emily Dickinson, the third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, and painter Georgia O’Keeffe—as well as breathtaking natural landscapes, such as Niagara Falls, which graces the cover. Serving as a catalog for the eponymous exhibition that toured the world, this book offers a glimpse into a different perspective from Leibovitz, who is best known for her portraits.
