First published in 1978. In this title, Alan Thomas examines the
invention of photography in the early nineteenth century. How the
members of this first "visual" generation used photography and how
it changed their perceptions of the world are the subjects of this
lavishly illustrated book. As the author convincingly shows, the
camera's presence was felt nearly everywhere during the course of
the nineteenth century. Approaching the subject topically, Thomas
surveys the work of the early photographers in terms of its
motivation, insights, and impact on society. The book is rounded
out with sections on other genres of photography - theatrical,
landscape, and social realism - that amply document the
far-reaching impact of this phenomenon on nineteenth-century
sensibilities.
