A Brief History of Photography is just what it says it is. Fast paced and easy to read, yet it covers the complete history from 1614 right through to the end of 2018. It not only includes the chemistry, but also the seminal cameras, films, sensors, lenses and accessories of their day; along with hundreds of "trivia" entries - which offer little-known background details on both the inventors & their inventions. It even includes some of the most influential photographic magazines of their day, and a few of the most influential photographers. Profusely illustrated, with over 360 photographs and drawings, it also boasts an extensive glossary.
Essential reading for every photographer.
“...if you haven't gotten a chance to read [A Brief History] I urge you to do so. [David] has updated the "History..." with images and additional text that just put a high gloss on an already sterling presentation.” *
