ISBN10: 1606061526, ISBN13: 9781606061527, [publisher: Getty Trust Publications, United States, Santa Monica CA] Softcover This title highlights images of architecture from Greek temples to Gothic cathedrals to modern-day skyscrapers. From the invention of photography in 1839, architecture was second only to portraiture as the most favoured subject for the camera. The fact that buildings were immobile was advantageous for the long exposures needed in the early days, but architectural images were popular for other reasons: they documented dynastic, civic, and religious achievements; educated architects about construction and decorative details; and whetted curiosity about distant lands. Arranged chronologically, this volume spans the history of the medium and includes works in a variety of photographic processes by such distinguished practitioners as Gustave Le Gray, Roger Fenton, Eugene Atget, Walker Evans, Ed Ruscha, Lewis Baltz and Michael Wesely. The seventy-five images presented here form a panoply of architectural structures and styles, from Egyptian ruins to Greek temples and Gothic cathedrals, and from skyscrapers and Modernist schools to mundane vernacular dwellings. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Catalogue of an exhibition held at Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University. Firm binding, clean inside copy. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "Eadweard Muybridge, famous for the photographs of horses and other animals in motion that he made in the 1870s and '80s, is a familiar figure to students of art history, photography, and cinema. By devising a method for photographing episodes of behavior using a series of cameras, he became the first photographer to successfully capture rapid action for analysis and study. Muybridge's pictures revolutionized expectations of what photography could reveal about the natural world, and were essential to the invention of the motion picture. This book is the catalogue for a major exhibition celebrating Muybridge's work, which opened in spring 2003 at the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University. The first large-scale organized treatment of the instantaneous photography movement, the exhibit--and the catalogue--combine an examination of Muybridge's career with a survey of early attempts to photograph moving subjects. The catalogue, written by guest curator Phillip Prodger, also features an essay by Tom Gunning, an acknowledged exper ...

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leichte Randläsuren, Fußschnitt angegraut, Bleistifteintrag auf Schmutztitel, sonst guter Zustand / slight edge wear, bottom edge grayed, pencil entry on half title, otherwise good condition. - The volume is the first edition of fifty-five letters of the English philhellene, civil servant, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary and Secretary for War, Sir George Comewall Lewis (1806-1863) to the great Göttingen Hellenist, Karl Otfried Müller (1797-1840). They document the decisive role of German Wissenschaft in establishing serious classical scholarship in nineteenth century England. Lewis translated Müller's Dorians and convinced him to write his epochmaking History of the Literature of Ancient Greece in English. These books exerted considerable influence among English speaking peoples and resulted among much else in Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray and Milman Parry's use of Serbocroatian parallels to Homeric oral composition. Lewis in many ways prepared the English for the influence of Eduard Fraenkel, who a century later would transfo ...

ISBN10: 1606061550, ISBN13: 9781606061558, [publisher: GETTY PUBN] Hardcover Neu -Im Januar 1839 wurde die ersten Fotografien der Welt vorgestellt. Zwei Jahre zuvor bestieg die junge Königin Victoria den Thron von Großbritannien und Irland. Diese beiden Ereignisse markierten zugleich den Beginn einer fruchtbaren Beziehung, die sich durch das gesamte 19. Jahrhundert zog und dazu beitrug, das Bild eines ganzen Zeitalters zu prägen. In diesem großartigen Buch werden die Verbindungen zwischen der Fotografie und der Monarchie durch Victorias Begeisterung für das neue Medium untersucht. Mit ihrem Gemahl Prinz Albert trug die Königin eine der frühesten Sammlungen von Fotografien zusammen, die Werke von berühmten Fotografen wie Roger Fenton, Gustave Le Gray und Julia Margaret Cameron enthielt. Victoria war zudem die Monarchin, deren Leben zu einer Zeit von der Kamera festgehalten wurde, als das britische Empire den Globus umspannte. Die fundierten Beiträge und das exzellente Bildmaterial machen die ganze Bandbreite des Zeitalters und seiner Besonderheiten erfahrbar.

The fact that buildings were immobile was advantageous for the long exposures needed in the early days, but architectural images were popular for other reasons: they documented dynastic, civic, and religious achievements; educated architects about construction and decorative details; and whetted curiosity about distant lands.

ISBN10: 1933747331, ISBN13: 9781933747330, [publisher: Bottletree Classics] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ghost stories became very popular in the first half of the nineteenth century and this collection by Andrew Barger contains the very scariest of them all. Some stories thought too horrific were published anonymously like 'A Night in a Haunted House' and 'The Deaf and Dumb Girl.' The later story is collected for the first time in any anthology since its original publication in 1839. The other ghost stories in this fine collection are by famous authors. 'The Mask of the Red Death,' by Edgar Allan Poe; 'A Chapter in the History of a Tyrone Family,' by Joseph Sheridan le Fanu; 'The Spectral Ship,' by Wilhelm Hauff; 'The Old Maid in the Winding Sheet,' by Nathaniel Hawthorne; 'The Adventure of the German Student,' and 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,' by Washington Irving; as well as 'The Tapestried Chamber,' by Sir Walter Scott. As he has done with a number of other books, Andrew Barger has added his scholarly touch to this collection by including story backgrounds, annotations, author photos and a foreword titled 'All Ghosts Are Gray.' Buy the book today and be ready to be scared. [Einbeck, Germany] [Publication Year: 2011] ...

First printing of revised and expanded edition. Large-format volume, measuring approximately 8.5" x 10.5", is bound in dark gray cloth, with stamped silver lettering to spine. Book and dust jacket are like new. Lavishly illustrated. xx/506 pages."First published in 1984, "Silver Cities" rapidly became a classic in the history of photography and in the then-nascent field of visual culture studies. Now this vastly expanded edition presents a lively interdisciplinary history of the first century of urban photography in America. "Silver Cities" envisions the transformation of American civilization via mass-produced and mass-disseminated photography of cities made between 1839 and the onset of World War II.In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, urban photographers were visual explorers of the rapidly evolving urban sphere, but their understanding of that environment was defined by the prevailing cultural prejudices. To examine their visual products is to educate ourselves in the deepest concerns of American culture in the century of its transformation from agrarian youth to urbane maturity.Readers new to the book will find a richly illustrated cultural history of American photography, with familiar names and newly discovered figures. Those familiar with the original will find the new edition fresh and surprising, exploring issues of race, gender, and ethnic identity and analyzing the ways media contribute to the power of the dominant culture. Longer and broader in its sc ...
Large-format hardcover volume, measuring approximately 10" x 12", is, together with dust jacket, new. Profusely illustrated. Volume is preserved in original shrinkwrap. xiii/226 pages."In the years following the invention of photography in 1839, practitioners in France gave shape to this intriguing new medium through experimental printing techniques and innovative compositions. The rich body of work they developed proved foundational to the establishment of early photography, from the introduction of the paper negative in the late 1840s to the proliferation of more-standardized equipment and photomechanical technology in the 1860s. The essays in this elegant volume investigate the early history of the medium when the ambiguities inherent in the photograph were ardently debated. Focusing on the French photographers who worked with paper negatives, especially the key figures Edouard Baldus, Gustave Le Gray, Henri Le Secq, and Charles Negre, "Real/Ideal" explores photography's status as either (or both) fine art or industrial product, its repertoire of subject matter, its ideological functions, and even the ever- experimental photographic process itself.

ISBN10: 1606061550, ISBN13: 9781606061558, [publisher: Getty Trust Publications, United States, Los Angeles] Softcover This is a richly illustrated exploration of Queen Victoria's portrayal in photography and her role in shaping the medium. In January 1839, photography was announced to the world. Two years prior, a young Queen Victoria ascended to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland. These two events, while seemingly unrelated, marked the beginnings of a relationship that continued throughout the 19th century and helped construct the image of an entire age. A Royal Passion explores the connections between photography and the monarchy through Victoria's embrace of the new medium and her portrayal through the lens. Together with Prince Albert, the Queen amassed one of the earliest collections of photographs, including work by renowned photographers such as Roger Fenton, Gustave Le Gray, and Julia Margaret Cameron. Victoria was also the first British monarch to have her life recorded by the camera: images of her as wife, mother, widow, and empress proliferated around the world at a time when the British Empire spanned the globe. The featured essays consider Victoria's role in shaping the history of photography as well as photography's role in shaping the image of the Queen. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. [Goring-By-Sea, WS, United Ki ...
