About This Item
New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1980. 4to black clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 187 pages profusely illustrated with 202 photographic illustrations, many full page. A production of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in association with Berger-Levrault, Paris for a 1980 exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. From dust jacket: "The work of one hundred photographers, from 1848 to 1900 was selected to give both the public and the experts their first glimpse of some of the finest photographs of the nineteenth century. In spite of the spectacularly high quality of their production, only a few of these photographers - such as Felix Nader and Gustave Le Gray - are known to scholars...Whether familiar or unknown, they have left us a legacy of images documenting famous men and great events through a variety of approaches that ranges from studio to countryside and techniques that vary from daguerreotypes to honey-based collodion plates." Dust jacket has some flaws: half inch tear on back cover and two smaller tears, some shelf wear and rubbing and chipping beginning at top and bottom spine. Quotes are for illustrative purposes and remain the property of their copyright holders. Thanks for shopping with us. 100% of your purchase benefits charity and supports literacy and lifelong learning.. Cloth. Good/Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
