Based on a landmark exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in 1964, and originally published in 1966, the book has long been out of print. It is now available again to a new generation of photographers and lovers of photography in this duotone printing that closely follows the original.

"A somewhat brief introduction to the development of photography as an art form. I found it fascinating to see some of the earliest versions of what are now considered fairly standard shots/techniques.
The text, though sparse, is elucidating and critically written.
Several of the photographs were fascinating for their sheer inventiveness. Others were more banal, but perhaps valuable for their historical influence on the artform."
"I wish I could give this more stars. Read it, then get The Nature of Photographs by Steven Shore and grab a broom. Sweep your melted face off the floor, mop up any remaining brain fluids. Repeat and see the world with clarity and coherence."
"Outstanding overview of excellent images, coupled with knowledgable commentary. This should be a standard reference for every student of the art form."
