Alma Davenport, a photographer for nearly thirty years, is professor of fine arts at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
This book is particularly strong in its reconsideration of the
formative years of photography. Clearly written and featuring many
fresh illustrations, it represents a useful addition to what is
already a sizeable literature.
This is a book about people and their importance in the great
scheme of photography, and about how the way they thought and acted
in their time has shaped the medium. It is perceptive about the way
photography has helped to force radical changes in society.
