Summary:
This volume revives the work of late nineteenth-century landscape photographers who shaped the environmental attitudes of settlers in the colonies of the Tasman World and in California. Despite having little association with one another, these photographers developed remarkably similar visions of nature. In both the American West and the Tasman World, landscape photography fed into settler belonging and produced new ways of thinking about territory and history. During this key period of settler revolution, a generation of photographers came to associate “nature” with remoteness, antiquity, and emptiness, a perspective that disguised the realities of Indigenous presence and reinforced colonial fantasies of environmental abundance. This book lifts the work of these photographers out of their provincial contexts and repositions it within a new comparative frame.

Standing on Mont Ventoux near Avignon, the fourteenth-century poet Petrarch experienced an entirely new sensation that he described as 'stepping out of time and space'. On the mountain's summit he was as far as he could be from the 'world's stage all around'. The huge distance reduced reference points to insignificant specks down below, and everything in the panorama(...)

Summary:
Standing on Mont Ventoux near Avignon, the fourteenth-century poet Petrarch experienced an entirely new sensation that he described as 'stepping out of time and space'. On the mountain's summit he was as far as he could be from the 'world's stage all around'. The huge distance reduced reference points to insignificant specks down below, and everything in the panorama seemed motionless, dispelling any notion of time. Petrarch had placed himself outside reality. That is what makes aerial photography so fascinating, writes Clemens M. Steenbergen, professor of landscape architecture at Delft University of Technology, in his introduction. The higher the viewpoint the greater the visual control and the more abstract the image. We can see whether a landscape has been shaped by man or is pure nature, how space and mass form one composition. Aerial photographer and landscape architect Peter van Bolhuis captures on camera the Dutch landscape: areas devoted to agriculture, forestry, nature, infrastructure and urban development. The pictures show us the achievements of a half century of landscape architecture. We see a landscape in which everything is precisely measured and demarcated, everything is planned and calculated, with no space left unattended. We see, writes Tracy Metz in one of the essays, 'a landscape that is the sum of negotiations about ever smaller parts'.
