Natural world photo book for elderly relative- any recommendations?

My grandpa is 96 and has lost a lot of his eye sight in the last few months. He used to read all the time and is really interested in the natural world/countryside/wonders of the world- he can't see type now even with a magnifier. Today he said he might like a book with some big photos which he can still see ok. I've had a look but he's already got all of the David Attenborough books that accompany the programs and I'm a bit stumped to know where else to look! Has anyone got any ideas please?

As an alternative, have you considered 1930/40s reminiscence type books,which are often photo scrapbook style, albeit some may also have large print?

Many are advertised under dementia resources, but can equally be enjoyed by anyone.

Amazon/ebay/world of books etc usually have some.

Maybe some of those massive Dorling Kindersley reference books with loads of photos?

How about the wildlife photographer of the year book?

National Geographic The Photo Ark is a lovely book.
