This comprehensive study of Rome’s contribution to the early
history of photography traces the medium’s rise from a fledgling
science to a dynamic form of artistic expression that forever
changed the way we perceive the Eternal City. The authors examine
the diverse transnational group of photographers who thrived in the
cosmopolitan art center of Rome—and the pivotal role they played
in the refinement and technical development of the nascent medium
in the nineteenth century. The book ranges from the earliest
pioneers—the French daguerreotypist Joseph-Philibert Girault de
Prangey and the Welsh calotypist Calvert Richard Jones—to the
work of the Roman School of Photography and its successors, among
them James Anderson and Robert Macpherson of Britain; Frédéric
Flachéron, Firmin Eugène Le Dien, and Gustave Le Gray of France;
and Giacomo Caneva, Adriano de Bonis, and Pietro Dovizielli of
Italy. Lavishly illustrated with 112 plates, many never before
published, by nearly fifty practitioners, this volume expands our
understanding of the place of Rome in early photography. An
exhibition of the same title, to open at the Bowdoin College Museum
of Art in December 2022, accompanies this study.
