See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> Ever since their creation in nineteenth-century France, Adolphe Braun's photographic images have been uniformly praised for their beauty. Trained as a textile designer, Braun initially used the nascent technology of photography to produce a marvelous and thoughtfully presented herbarium, providing designers and art students with a source book of natural models. Having established his reputation as a top- ranking photographer, he went on to document everything from French landscape and architecture, traditional regional costume, animal breeds and husbandry, to the events and legacies of the Franco-Prussian War. His opulent bouquets of flowers are at once lush, delicate. and richly tonal; his landscapes are breathtaking and immediate; his animal studies arresting; his war photos dramatic and unrelenting. He created thousands of visual souvenirs of pristine Alpine sites and stereoscopic views of popular holiday locations throughout Europe, and would ultimately become one.

159 S. mit 123 zum Teil farbige Bilder. Zustand: Sehr gut, neuwertig. - Der Stoffdesigner Adolphe Braun (1812-1877) ist einer der ersten, der die kommerziellen Möglichkeiten der Fotografie erkennt. Zunächst fotografiert er Blumen und Pflanzen als Anschauungsmaterial für die Gestalter von Stoffen, Tapeten und Porzellan. Dann fotografiert er Gemälde in allen großen europäischen Museen. Mit hohen Auflagen lässt er die Fotos im neuen Kohledruckverfahren vervielfältigen (bald schon besitzt er die größte Vervielfältigungsanstalt Europas). Seine Fotos von beliebten Urlaubszielen in Frankreich (Elsaß), Deutschland (Rhein), der Schweiz (Alpen), Ägypten (Pyramiden), Rom (antike Bauten), seine stereoskopischen Aufnahmen und vor allem seine neuartigen Panorama-Bilder (fotografiert mit einer Johnson'schen Rotations-Camera mit einem Gesichtswinkel von 130 Grad) erregen großes Aufsehen. Dieser reich illustrierte, aufschlussreiche Band zeigt den Einfluss der Fotografie auf die Menschen seiner Zeit. Text englisch.
