George Eastman's career developed in a particularly American way.
The founder of Kodak progressed from a delivery boy to one of the
most important industrialists in American history, and a crucial
innovator in photographic history. Eastman died in 1932, and left
his house to the University of Rochester. Since 1949 the site has
operated as an international museum of photography and film, and
today holds the largest collection of its kind in the world,
containing over 400,000 images and negatives-among them the work of
such masters as Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, and Ansel Adams.
Home also to 23,000 cinema films, five million film stills, one of
the most important silent film collections, technical equipment and
a library with 40,000 books on photography and film, the George
Eastman House is a pilgrimage site for researchers, photographers,
and collectors from all over the world. This volume curates the
most impressive images from the collection in chronological order
to offer an incomparable overview of photographic history. About
the series Bibliotheca Universalis - Compact cultural companions
celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!
