About this title

Review:

'Although generally considered to be a movement associated solely with painting, the Pre-Raphaelites can be shown to have been profoundly affected by the invention of photography from the 1840s onwards. This groundbreaking book traces these influences and affinities through a close examination of both paintings and photographs. The book is well illustrated and, with its many scholarly essays, will remain a useful reference work for many years to come.' --- --Arlis

'full of images which reward long study.' --- --Albion Magazine Online

'It is thoroughly refreshing to discover a revealing new study which adds considerably to our knowledge and understanding of this movement within the context of the artists' contemporary world, and which sets out to juxtapose two distinct art forms in search of a unifying harmony.' ----- Albion Magazine Online
