Description

Third in a series of publications featuring iconic works from the Gallery’s collection and situating them within a historical and social context. Photographs by some of the medium’s earliest practitioners, including William Henry Fox Talbot, Hill and Adamson, Anna Atkins, and Julia Margaret Cameron, are illustrated and examined. Also explored are the various photographic processes discovered at the time, among them salted paper prints, daguerreotypes, albumen silver prints, collotypes, carbon prints, and woodburytypes. With over 200 illustrations and dozens of individual presentations, this publication provides a complete overview of this crucial period in the development of photography.
