From the first, fragile experiments of the nineteenth century to the billions of images made and shared every day, photography has transformed how we see, remember, communicate, and understand one another. This is Photography: The First 200 Years tells that extraordinary story, charting a vivid path through the medium's evolution. Bringing together landmark images, unexpected discoveries, and emerging voices from across the globe, it reveals not just how photography developed, but how it developed us.
Accessible, richly illustrated, and incisive, this is the one book you need to grasp photography's remarkable journey--from scientific breakthrough to the defining visual language of modern life.
