About This Item
British Library, 2009. Hardcover. Collectible, Fine/Near Fine. Quarto, hardcover, fine in near fine brown pictorial dj. 176 pp. including index. Heavy paper stock with sepia tone photos throughout. rom its earliest beginnings in the 1840s up to its democratization as a widespread leisure pursuit, photography was swept along by a tide of artistic and entrepreneurial activity that gathered pace throughout the nineteenth century. Both as an art form and a social document, the photograph quickly took on a critical role as the primary means of visual expression in the modern age. Points of View brings together, for the first time, a selection of images from the British Library's unique photography collections, examining the history, diversity, and influence of the medium from its invention and early years up until the coming of the twentieth century. Beginning with the work of William Henry Fox Talbot and including some of our most celebrated photographic pioneers.
