The camera and its images Book

No invention has altered human vision as significantly as photography. The Camera and Its Image is Arthur Goldsmith's fascinating, informal history of this phenomenon, the story of the amazing development of technology and human communication. From its pre-history to its present, from Louis Mande Jacque Daguerre's daguerreotype to twentieth-century holography, fro mthe portraits of Nadar to the masterworks by Stieglitz and Weston - it's all here. Text and pictures combine to demonstrate the enthralling and continuing struggle of mankind to capture and preserve his reality and his fluid perception of himself and his environment.
