High Times by Golden Cosmos
Respected Berlin illustrators Golden Cosmos celebrate the cultural history of flight in the latest title from Nobrow's popular Leporello series. A concertina book, High Times unfolds to reveal a bold fifty-four-inch panorama that can be read as a book, displayed on a mantelpiece, or framed as a beautiful print.
With their trademark bold use of color and adeptness for shape and form, Golden Cosmos lovingly recall humanity's quest to conquer the skies. Featuring everything from Icarus' mythological attempts to the revolutionary innovations of the Jet Age and beyond, High Times is perfect for lovers of history, technology, and art alike.

"A beautifully produced concertina book that folds out into a 139cm panorama detailing the history and mythology of flight, has provided endless inspiration for questions and stories from all three of my children"
—Telegraph
"We liked the bold stylish retro look of the fold-out book, which pays homage to the bold patterns and geometry of early Russian constructivism, along with a nod to mid-century French commercial art. Another fantastic edition by the talented Nobrow clan."
—Easy Voyage

Golden Cosmos is the collaborative moniker for the work (and life) team of Daniel Dolz and Doris Freigofas. Based in Berlin, they have been illustrating together since 2010, most notably for The New York Times, Wired and The New Yorker, as well as for numerous German publications. Their striking editorial illustration has been exhibited internationally and led to prizes such as a Young Guns Award from Art Directors Club and a Gold Medal from 3X3 Pro Show. For Nobrow, they have also illustrated the Leporello Locomotion, detailing notable benchmarks in the history of trains.
