Synopsis

Commemorating the birth of photography, this book derives its title from Fox Talbot's own description of his invention and features 400 landmark photographs never before exhibited of published by over 200 photographers. Essays accompany the pictures, delineating the major movements and revealing the range of experimentation that the artists have achieved. The work coincides with a major exhibition at the Art Institute in Chicago and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
