Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book taps into a rich historical vein by capturing the evolution of photography from its pre-beginnings to the discoveries of the 19th century. Key figures in this history like Battista Della Porta, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Wedgwood, William Fox Talbot, and Joseph Nicephore Niepce take center stage as we trace the emergence of the camera, the camera obscura, and the daguerreotype.
