On the Road 1940–1949: From the Diaries of a Photographer and Adventurer presents a photographic journey shaped by George Rodger’s diaristic and exploratory approach during the 1940s. The images capture moments of travel and adventure across various locations, reflecting the spirit of discovery and the historical context of the decade.

Combining documentary and personal perspectives, the photographs articulate themes of movement, cultural encounters, and the unpredictable nature of travel in a turbulent period. Rodger’s visual narrative is deeply embedded in the experience of both the places visited and the personal diaries kept alongside his photographic work.

Published by Hatje Cantz in 2009, this 160-page volume offers a concise yet rich exploration of Rodger’s work during a defining decade of his career, marked by both professional and geographic transitions.
