The History of Photography: From 1839 to the Present, by Beaumont Newhall

 

This is a history of photography from 1839 through 1949, when it was published. Containing almost exclusively black and white illustrations, it includes hundreds of reproductions. I was mainly interested in Ansel Adams' place in this history; he is covered in a few pages and with two plates: "Boards and Thistles, 1932" and "Mono Lake, California, 1947." I only read a few selections, so can't comment on the entire narrative.
