A study of world architecture as seen through the eyes of ninety great
masters of the camera, this magnificently produced book includes some of the
earliest and finest photographs of architectural subjects. It takes us from the
Paris of Atget and Baldus to Beato's imperial Japan, and from August Sander's vision
of Germany between the Wars to Atlanta after Sherman's march.Among the other
photographers represented in the book's 148 plates are Talbot, Fenton, and F. H.
Evans in Britain; Macpherson and Ponti in Italy; Salzman in Jerusalem; Chamay in
Mexico; and Watkins, Stieglitz, Steichen, Abbot, and O'Sullivan in the United
States.Phyllis Lambert's introduction discusses the importance of photography to the
architect and architectural historian. Richard Pare's essay examines the history of
architectural photography and photographic techniques. The extensive catalog by
Catherine Evans Inbusch and Marjorie Munsterberg provides detailed information on
the photographs and biographies of the photographers.Richard Pare is Curator of
Photographs at the Canadian Centre for Architecture where Phyllis Lambert is founder
and director. All of the photographs in this book were selected from the Centre's
collection. Photography and Architecture: 1839-1939 was originally published by the
Centre with Callaway Editions in 1982 and is now distributed by The MIT
Press.
