Reviews

'The relationship between photography and architectural subjects - especially in the nineteenth century - has received some analysis by contemporary writers, but primarily within the context of the work of individual photographers or as a component of a general survey. Michele Nilson‘s book [...] provides a much-needed framework for an expanded discussion of this subject by offering categories and objectives that should be defined when assessing early architectural photography.'
