Panoramas: Photographies 1850-1950 : collection Bonnemaison (French Edition)

In 1989 Joachim Bonnemaison exhibited a portion of his massive collection of panoramic photographs in order to show the historical evolution of the panoramic process as it changed technically, creatively and socially. This anthology, published in conjunction with the exhibition, contains work by a number of artists including Charles Marville, Gustave Le Gray, and George Seeley. "Indeed, he might well be taken for a maniac, given that this exhibition consists of a panoramic of panoramics. That is all to the good, in the last analysis - it is the sine qua non condition for putting together an ensemble of work that is alive."--Tatiana Tolstoï.
