CLASSIC CAMERAS

CLASSIC CAMERAS COLIN HARDING & PAUL THOMPSON Book Number: 77527 Product format: Hardback In a veritable feast for the eyes, a regular broadcaster on television and radio, who has written widely on the history of photography and who has curated many photographic exhibitions, tells the story of the development of the camera. The book features 75 classic cameras from the National Media Museum, and is a real collectors' piece. The in-depth descriptions, potted histories, stunning and sophisticated photographs and related contemporary material give a fascinating insight into the development of each camera. There is a chapter for every era and a spread for every camera. Here is the camera obscura which was known from ancient times. The thrilling announcement of the invention of photography came in 1839 followed, in the 1850s, by the introduction of wet plate cameras and the subsequent growth of commercial photography. Gelatin dry plates, introduced in the late 1870s, made 'instantaneous' exposures possible. In the early 20th century, the hand-made wooden boxes were transformed into mass-produced precision-engineering products. The introduction of 35mm SLR cameras came about in 1936 and, by the 1990s, the first consumer digital camera heralded the rapid decline of traditional silver-based photography. All these exciting events are captured in this nostalgic and informative book, with superb descriptions and photography throughout. 192 pages 25.5cm x 25.5cm lavishly illustrated in b/w and colour.
