Summary:

"From Daguerre's early experiments, Fenton's photographic documentation of the Crimea, and Brady's portrayals of America's Civil War, to Muybridge's galloping horses or Julia Margaret Cameron's romantic portraits - Icons of Photography: The 19th Century presents the geniuses who helped transform a scientific discovery into a means of artistic expression." "The invention of photography in the nineteenth century ignited an artistic and scientific frenzy. Icons of Photography: The 19th Century includes works made using an extensive range of early photographic techniques and examines the enduring legacy of photography's pioneers."--Jacket.
