This book looks into the life of this famous pioneer of photography for the first time. For more than thirty-five years Poitevin experimented with chemical and mechanical processes in order to make photographs printable and more durable. At an early stage of the medium's development, Poitevin recognized how important photography would become for illustrating printed books. Among other achievements, he developed the first successful processes for illustrating books with photographs. This book brings together Poitevin's photographs and research on his scientific experiments to put his accomplishments in the context of art history and the history of science. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Blau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777437476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777437477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Daniel Blau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993714262271,"sku":"9783777437477","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a6b8356-4a5b-485b-9dd5-de8bad513f58.jpg?v=1683325888","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/louis-alphonse-poitevin-daniel-blau-9783777437477","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
