Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. A detailed biography of Francis Blake (1850-1913), American inventor, scientist, businessman, and pioneering photographer. Drawing upon the extensive Francis Blake papers and photographic collections preserved by the Massachusetts Historical Society, Elton W. Hall chronicles Blake's work in communications technology, scientific experimentation, photography, and philanthropy. Blake played an important role in the development of early telephone technology, particularly through his work on the telephone transmitter, while his experiments in high-speed photography produced striking images of trains, birds in flight, athletes, and other subjects in motion. The volume is extensively concerned with both his inventive work and his significance in the early development of instantaneous photography. Published by the Massachusetts Historical Society in 2003 and distributed by Northeastern University Press. Illustrated throughout with historical photographs and archival material. Condition: Very Good hardcover in a Very Good original dust jacket. Binding is firm and square. Boards and spine appear clean and well preserved, with only light shelf wear. Interior pages shown are clean and bright. Dust jacket remains bright and attractive with light rubbing, minor surface wear, and small areas of edge and corner wear. Minor handling/creasing is visible near the jacket extremities. No major tears or losses observed. Overall, a handsome copy. Collector / Significance: A specialized biography of an important but comparatively little-known figure in the history of American communications and photography. Blake's involvement with early telephone technology and his pioneering high-speed photographic experiments give this title crossover appeal to collectors of the history of photography, telecommunication, electrical invention, nineteenth-century technology, and American industrial history. The original dust jacket adds to the desirability of this copy. Carefully packed for shipment. USPS Media Mail available within the United States unless otherwise requested. International shipping available at cost. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks' return policy. SCI 3a.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Accomplished inventor, visionary photographer, philanthropist, and successful businessman, Francis Blake (1850 1913) changed not only the way Americans communicated in the nineteenth century but also quite literally how they saw themselves. His major inventions, the telephone transmitter and innovations in high-speed photography, and his Weston, Massachusetts estate Keewaydin epitomized how a gifted individual of modest circumstances could create and re-create himself during America s Gilded Age.The Blake telephone transmitter became the world standard, and anyone who spoke into Alexander Graham Bell's device in the last twenty years of the nineteenth century also encountered Blake s name, emblazoned on his transmitter. In addition, he invested an enormous amount of his energy, talent, and wealth in his home, originally designed by Charles Follen McKim, and its elaborate grounds. This self-contained compound, which included homes for his in-laws and his children and a complete water system, reflected Blake's passion for precision, beauty, and order. It became his major preoccupation, a place where he could exercise unchallenged mastery.Unfortunately, the fabulous Keewaydin estate did not endure, but thankfully Blake's photographic images remain. Blake's experimental camera work placed him in the forefront of the photographic world in the 1880s. His high-speed photographs remain unsurpassed for their clarity, crispness, and composition, and are as fresh today as when he first snapped them over a hundred years ago. Although little-known today, Blake helped revolutionize photography and transformed the role of the photograph in American society, marking him as a significant figure at the dawn of the twentieth century. His story is a compelling and fascinating chronicle of unbounded energy, independence, and genius. This is the story of the accomplished inventor, visionary photographer, philanthropist and successful businessman, Francis Blake, who changed not only the way Americans communicated in the 19th century but also - quite literally - how they saw themselves.
