Paperback. Condition: VG. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Dust jacket condition: Very Good. Very nice clean copy. Featuring the Collection of Wm. B. Becker Nearly 200 photographs -- lavishly reproduced in duotone and full color-- create a stunning visual history of photography's first 75 years. Here are classic images of Ameri…ca's past: blacksmiths and goldminers, cowboys and Indians, polygamists and Presidents, the devastation of the Civil War and breathtaking scenes of natural beauty. An extensive selection of images depicts the world as Americans of the last century discovered it: exotic people and picturesque places, captured through the camera's truthful lens. Most of these photographs have never been published before; many are one-of-a-kind. PHOTOGRAPHY'S BEGINNINGS invites the reader to follow a unique series of thematic paths through the history of the medium. . .from the earliest daguerreotype portraits to the advent of practical color photography. This innovative approach presents images in the folk art tradition, penetrating portraiture, "concoctions" created in the studio and darkroom, and the precedent-shattering works of the turn-of-the-century masters. 176 pages.
