The pictures show the supersonic airliner as most people knew it: a distant, unmistakable shape crossing the sky over London's suburbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTillmans saw Concorde as perhaps the last techno-utopian invention of the 1960s still in service, and the book holds both its beauty and its environmental cost. Six years later the fleet was retired, and Concorde now reads as an elegy for a future that never arrived. Martin Parr and Gerry Badger included it in the second volume of The Photobook: A History.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first edition of 1997, published by Walther König in Cologne.
