Here at last is a concise critical history of photography which
explains by what criteria we can judge one photograph to be better
than another, what is special about the photographic recording of
images, what in fact is the essence of photography both in itself
and in relation to other visual art forms. This brilliant study
provides a unique guide to the critical issues through the examples
of the greatest photographers in the world, from Fox Talbot, the
father of photography, to the masters of today. 136 illus., 8 in
color.
