OverviewSince its invention in the 1940s, photography has been used to record images of exotic locales. At the time, these photographs provided a glimpse of the world to a curious public, few of whom could ever hope to visit these places. In Reverie and Reality, a visual history of nineteenth-century India unfolds into an exhibition of one hundred and twelve vintage photographs, including images by some of the earliest and most significant practitioners of the medium. The subject matter encompasses famous architectural monuments and natural landscapes; daily life in villages, lavish, formal visits of foreign royalty; and exotic lion hunts and elephants. The photographs of Reverie and Reality are drawn from the important collection of Dr. William K. Ehrenfeld, Professor Emeritus of Vascular Surgery, University of California, San Francisco. 140 colour illustrations Full Product DetailsAuthor: Robert Flynn Johnson , John Falconer , Sophie GordonPublisher: Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco Imprint: Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco ISBN: 9780884011101ISBN 10: 0884011100 Pages: 188 Publication Date: 01 January 1999 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , General/trade , Undergraduate , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Out of Stock Indefinitely Availability: Out of stock Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
