• This is a history of 19th-century photography as told through 100 works from the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. Author and curator, David Acton, tracks the history, artistic concepts, and technical advances of photography through examination of the pioneering work of William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877), Alphonse Louis Poitevin (1819-1892), Frédéric Flachéron (1813-1883), Roger Fenton (1819-1869), Désiré Charnay (1828-1915), Felice Beato (1832-1909), Mathew B. Brady (1822-1896), Julia Margaret Cameron, (1815-1879), William Bell (1830-1910), Louis-Maurice Boutet de Monvel (1850-1913), and Jacob Riis (1849-1914). The volume provides a pictorial history, with specialty areas including Mathew Brady's famous photographs of the Civil War and the exploration of the American West by photographers including Eadweard Muybridge and Charles Savage. Acton provides historical context, brief biographies, and a glossary of photographic terms. The permanent collection of the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art comprises 10,000-plus pieces of 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century photography. -- dust jacket
