DAVID BRUCE - Sun Pictures. The Hill-Adamson Calotypes

Title: Sun Pictures. The Hill-Adamson Calotypes
Description: Studio Vista, 1973. Paperback. Pp: 247. Many of the earliest photographers regarded the permanent capture of an image on metal, paper or glass less as man's achievement than as nature's method of painting. Consequently, a man could writ on his work, 'sol fecit'- 'the sun made it'. This happened only for a few years, before photography became a commercial feature. In these years one of the highwater marks of photographic accomplishments was reached in the calotypes of David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson. nIn this book a hundred and thirty Hill/ Adamson calotypes, from various sources, are presented in much their original size and appearance. They represent a remarkable historical period and an outstanding artistic achievement. ISBN: 0289704154. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
