Hardcover. Zustand: New. In January of 1839 William Henry Fox Talbot rushed to arrange a showing of experimental images captured on sheets of chemically treated paper placed in the back of a small wooden box. Talbot feared that his rival, L. J. M. Daguerre, would make his similar discoveries public before Talbot had the chance to announce his own. Daguerre's and Talbot's inventions -- the daguerreotype and the paper photograph -- ushered in a new way of imaging reality that has transformed modern history and culture. A Gift of Light: Photographs from the Janos Scholz Collection takes us back to the first decades following the invention of paper photography. The book's sampling of works by more than sixty of the leading European photographers of the era -- including Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron, Alphonse Louis Poitevin, Gustave Le Gray, and Eugene Atget -- show a wide variety of photographic techniques and an extraordinary breadth of subject matter. We see Tennyson, Delacroix, and Gauguin; Victorian ladies and Indian maharajas; the pines of Rome and rocks in Lebanon; the catacombs of Paris and the battlements of the Crimea; medieval cathedrals and Egyptian pyramids. In addition to the plates, A Girl of Light contains a foreword by Charles R. Loving, three essays, notes on the photographs, and a bibliography. Stephen Roger Moriarty sets the scene with an essay about Janos Scholz, the art collector and cellist who donated his extraordinary collection of more than 5,000 nineteenth-century European photographs to the University of Notre Dame's Snite Museum of Art. Moriarty's second essay describes the techniques and processes used in the early development of photography. Morna O'Neill examines the importanceof photography in Victorian England. Containing many photographs unavailable in any other collection and seen here for the first time, A Gift of Light will be an important source of information for historians of photography, the Victorian era, and French romanticism. The book will also delight general readers.

Leicht berieben, vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Slightly rubbed, yellowed, otherwise in good condition. - FOREWORD In a world of African art filled with Masterpieces," "Masterworks," Treasures," Jewels," and other superlatives too numerous to mention, in which objects and collections of every shade and nuance of quality are presented, it becomes difficult to maintain one's perspective about rare or exceptional objects of high quality when one does encounter them. Most private, and many public collections have only a handful of such pieces, amidst some perfectly fine objects which are delicious," "iconographically significant," or just plain fun; and the lower echelons swell with uncounted ordinary," "uninspired," or bad examples. There are, after all, a limited number of pieces in the top two categories, and that number is shrinking as time and inherent weakness take their toll. In preparing the catalog for a long-overdue exhibition of traditional African sculpture from the Raymond E. Britt Family Collection, I decided to pick ten pieces which fall into the top two categories, and discuss them without resorting to hyperbole. A majority are very rare, others are exceptionally beautiful, some are both. Here are ten objects which I think will benefit scholars and collectors in their revelation. There are more such pieces in the Britt Collection, but these are ones I think the public should know about because they exemplify high aesthetic standards in their respective cultures. Besides, I like all of them a lot. I don't think there are any great leaps of faith or logic in my research, and I am certain that all the mistakes are my own. To those who have helped me, in particular Theodore Celenko, Curator of the Harrison Eiteljorg Collection of African Art, and Dr. Roy Sieber, Rudy Professor of Fine Arts, Indiana University, Bloomington, I say thanks for sharing the thrill of the hunt with me. To all of those Snite Museum employees, past and present, who typed, pasted, and listened, I owe a special debt. And to Gary Mills, who patiently photographed all of the pieces, I am grateful indeed.
