Creative Photography: Aesthetic Trends 1839-1960 (1962)

First comprehensive study written and illustrated exclusively from the artistic aspect of photography’s picture making capacity. In his fascinating survey, from the mirror-like realism of the daguerreotype to modern phot-montage, the author convincingly demonstrates what a subjective process creative photography really is. Condition: Dust-wrapper a little shelf worn to extremities. Crease to title-page. Some slight spotting to top edge of text-block and a small ink stamp to top left corner of rear paste-down, otherwise very good.
