"Anchored by over 200 images, from the early efforts of key 19th century pioneers like William Henry Fox Talbot and Louis-Jacques-Mande Deguerre to stunning work by 21st-century masters of the art, The Book of Photography traces technical discoveries and aesthetic developments alike and shows how brilliant amateurs and consummate professionals have focused on every field of endeavor: art and architecture, portraiture, journalism, advertising and fashion, scientific research, and more. We enter such bygone worlds as Atget's Paris and see for ourselves some of the last of Edward Curtis's American Indians; bear witness to war as photographers from Alexander Gardner to Robert Capa to those on today's front lines bring home the grim reality of battle; and watch portraits change as generation succeeds generation, from stiff Victorian families to Cecil Beaton's stylish subjects to the exuberant informality of celebrities jumping for Philippe Halsman."--BOOK JACKET.
