A propos de cet article

CONTENTS: Translator's Preface; Preface; Contents; List of Portraits; General History of the Origin of Photography; Photographic Apparatus; Applied Photography; Photography as a Profession and a Hobby in Civilization and as an Economic Asset; A Hundred Years of Photography; Bibliography; Portraits; Index. Some of the special topics include Photography on Metal - Niepce and Daguerre; Negative-Positive Method - Talbot; Negatives and Emulsions on Glass; Architectural Photography; First Textbooks; Early Photographic Societies; etc. Stenger provides excellent bibliographic references on early photography and the paths of technical developments. Erich Stenger (1878- 1957) was a German photochemist, collector, and avid historian and theorist of photography. From 1919 to 1922, he held the position of lecturer. He was the inventor of the darkroom lamp utilizing liquid filters (1905) and of a photographic copying process based on chemical gradation (1922). From 1922, he served as a non-tenured associate professor and Director of the Institute for Applied Photochemistry at the Technical University of Berlin. From 1928 onwards, he also continued his work in Berlin as a library councilor and head of the documents and portrait collection at the Prussian State Library. Stenger was a collector from childhood; initially, Liebig trading cards and postage stamps, then from 1906 until the end of his life, he collected photographs and artifacts documenting the cultural history of photography. His photographic collection was later regarded as the largest private collection of photographs in the world and served as the basis for numerous publications and exhibitions—including this book Photography in Culture and Technology. In 1955, Stenger sold his photography collection to Agfa, as the company sought to open a museum of photography. Stenger’s photography collection now forms part of the Photography Collection at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.…
