Goldsmith A. The Camera and Its Images

Newsweek Books, 1979. — 248 p.The Camera and Its Images is Arthur Goldsmith's fascinating, informal history of this phenomenon, the story of the amazing development of technology and human communication. From its pre-history to its present, from Louis Mande Jacques Daguerre's daguerreotype to twentieth-century holography, from the portraits of Nadar to masterworks by Stieglitz and Weston — it's all here. Text and pictures combine to demonstrate the enthralling
and continuing struggle of mankind to capture and preserve his reality and his fluid perception of himself and his environment.
