About This Item
Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. Hardcover. VG/VG light scuffing and corner/edge wear to dust jacket.. Black cloth boards with gilt stamped spine lettering. Black and BW-photographic dust jacket with white lettering. 208 pp. Illustrations, portraits. "This illustrated book establishes the towering influence of the scientist Victor Regnault (1810-1878) in the earliest decades of photography, a period of experimentation ripe with artistic, commercial, and scientific possibility." "Occupying a unique and powerful position in the overlapping spheres of photography, science, industry, and art, Regnault was elected president of the newly formed S.E.P. in 1855. By examining his intertwined activities against the backdrop of French photography's nascent pursuit of institutional legitimacy, this book illuminates an important and overlooked body of images and the irregular cultural terrain of early photography."--Jacket.
