520			_a"This sumptuously illustrated volume, hailed as an indispensable work on the subject, has now been revised an expanded to cover images by contemporary photographers working in the twenty-first century. A World History of Photography encompasses the entire range of the medium, from the camera lucida to the latest computer technology, and from Europe and the Americas to Africa and the Far East. The book investigates all aspects of photography - aesthetic, documentary, commercial, and technical - while placing photography in historical context. Included among the more than 800 photographs by men and women are both little-known and celebrated masterpieces, arranged in stimulating juxtapositions that illuminate their visual power. Dr. Rosenblum's chronicle of photography is authoritative and unbiased, tracing both chronologically and thematically the evolution of this young art. Exploring the diverse roles that photography has played in the communications of ideas,k Dr. Rosenblum devotes special attention to topics such as portraiture, documentation, advertising, and photojournalism, and to the camera as a medium of personal artistic expression. Profiles are provided of individual photographers who made notable contributions to the medium or epitomized a certain style."-- Publisher's description.
