Book synopsis

First comprehensive and richly illustrated overview of historical Belgian photographic literature. The development of photography from its roots in 19th-century science gradually transformed book illustration and the dissemination of images. This fully bilingual reference work presents a first comprehensive overview of Belgian photographic literature of the 19th century, both of illustrated books and of scientific publications. It makes a major contribution to academic study in the field, with a corpus composed of 681 entries and, for each title, indicates locations of surviving copies in institutional collections in Belgium and elsewhere. An introductory essay plots the development of photographic publishing in Belgium, making full use of primary and secondary sources. An album of over eighty images draws on the rich iconography of early Belgian photographic literature, most reprinted here for the first time. Premier bilan complet et illustré de l'édition photographique belge au 19e sičcle. L'évolution de la photographie depuis ses origines dans les sciences du 19e sičcle a transformé progressivement l'illustration du livre et la diffusion des images. Le présent ouvrage de référence, entičrement bilingue, a pour but de dresser un premier bilan complet de l'édition photographique belge au 19e sičcle, tant iconographique que scientifique. Il constitue une importante contribution aux connaissances historiques dans le domaine et se compose d'un corpus de 681 notices, assorties chacune d'un recensement d'exemplaires localisés dans les collections publiques en Belgique comme ailleurs. Une introduction trace l'évolution de l'édition photographique belge, exploitant pleinement des sources primaires et secondaires. Un album de plus de quatre-vingts illustrations puise dans la riche iconographie des débuts de l'édition photographique belge ; la plupart sont reproduites ici pour la premičre fois.
