Book Overview
In this important volume, Christian A. Peterson finally gives the pictorialists of the first half of the twentieth century their due. He describes the backgrounds of the movement, their methods, the photo clubs they belonged to, and their work, illustrated here with ninety-three stunning reproductions. The movement seemed to die out, Peterson suggests, with the rising popularity of 35mm photography in mid-century, when the care and slow working procedures required by large-format cameras became unpopular.

Are you people nuts !!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I can't believe this brilliant and fascinating history is being remaindered for $7 ! I am half way through it and it is spellbinding (of course you DO have to be a photographer). I've been a photographer for.... a very long time.... and I didn't know half this stuff. The old adage 'the winners write the history books' is certainly true. The rich contributions made by pictorialists through the entire first half of the 20th century have apparently been very successfully buried. Dig 'em up here! If you are fascinated by the early history of photography then you need this book.
