The book ranges from the earliest pioneers--the French daguerreotypist Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey and the Welsh calotypist Calvert Richard Jones--to the work of the Roman School of Photography and its successors, among them James Anderson and Robert Macpherson of Britain; Fr馘駻ic Flach駻on, Firmin Eug鈩e Le Dien, and Gustave Le Gray of France; and Giacomo Caneva, Adriano de Bonis, and Pietro Dovizielli of Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLavishly illustrated with 112 plates, many never before published, by nearly fifty practitioners, this volume expands our understanding of the place of Rome in early photography.
