Setting photography within a long history of image making—beginning with the eighteenth-century Grand Tour and transformed by the inventions of William Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre—this beautifully illustrated book features many previously unpublished images alongside the work of well-known photographers. The sixteen essays explore photography as a vehicle for visual translation and cultural exchange.Published by the Yale Center for British Art/Distributed by Yale University Press
