Beschreibung
Where did the photograph on paper come from? What did the first light images on paper look like and who were their creators? In which areas did it find application and what attracted its first collectors? What were its advantages over daguerreotypes and other competing methods, and in what ways did it lag behind? The book 'Inventors, Pirates, Epigones' seeks and offers answers to these questions, tracing how photography on paper spread and established itself in Bohemia and Moravia during the 1840s and 1850s, closely linked to other locations, primarily Vienna as the nearest photographic hub.
The book is published in a bilingual format – in Czech and English – and is richly illustrated with visual material from domestic and foreign collections.
