A SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED, lively, intiÂÂmate history of one of the great aesthetic adventures of the modern world-the making of the first photographs. Here arc the fascinating early experiÂÂments with processing, the first primiÂÂtive attempts at colour photography, the ingenious equipment invented for speÂÂcial effects-and here are the prints that resulted, now precious beyond measure. First-hand accounts by the pioneer photographers vividly recall the pursuit of a historic event, a spectacular landÂÂscape, a fleeting facial expression. There are chapters on the work of the inventors=-Niepce, Fox Talbot, DaÂÂguerre, and Bayard-and on the profesÂÂsionals, like N adar, who photographed everything from the Paris sewers (by electric light) to Sarah Bernhardt. Bourne made a record of the landscape of India and the Himalayas that was, and perhaps still is, unequalled. The beginnings of documentary photography-fohn ThomÂÂson's London types for instance, and the very undocumentary work of Julia MarÂÂgaret Cameron-showed two paths photography could follow. Yet another, the development of photography as an analytic technique, can be seen in the work of Marey and Muybridge. The deÂÂvelopment uf colour photography brings the text to a close, and a selected bibliogÂÂraphy rounds out the volume. Aaron Scharf, well known for his earÂÂlier books, Creative Photography and Art and Photography, was an adviser to the British Broadcasting Corporation on the programmes out of which this book grew.
