Summary:

"Through Braun's pioneering photographs, Image and Enterprise explores the origins of contemporary visual communication - tracing the evolution of photographic technology as a means of disseminating visual information to a broader public. Six enlightening essays provide an overview of Braun's photographic enterprise, discussing his experimentation with, and development of, the new technology and the political, cultural, social and economic climate in which his activities flourished."--Jacket.
