This title shows how the window has provided photography with one
of its richest and most enduring themes. Photographers have been
irresistibly drawn to the window as a powerful source of
inspiration throughout the history of the medium. As one of the
first camera subjects, the window is literally and figuratively
linked to the photographic process itself. By bringing together key
works, arranged thematically rather than chronologically, and
presenting pairings within broader stylistic movements, this volume
examines the motif of the window as a symbol of photographic
vision. The theme is presented in a wide range of contexts, from
one of the earliest images by William Henry Fox Talbot and Julia
Margaret Cameron's 1864 allegorical use of the motif, to works by
members of the Photo-Secession, including Gertrude Kasebier and
Fred Holland Day to twentieth-century photographs by William
Eggleston, Walker Evans, and Lee Friedlander.
