Setting photography within a long history of image making--beginning with the eighteenth-century Grand Tour and transformed by the inventions of William Henry Fox Talbot and Louis Daguerre--this beautifully illustrated book features many previously unpublished images alongside the work of well-known photographers. The sixteen essays in this volume explore photography as a vehicle for visual translation and cultural exchange. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Yale Center for British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Antonella Pelizzari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 030026383X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300263831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yc British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.22h x 9.11w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2023","brand":"Maria Antonella Pelizzari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056528716031,"sku":"9780300263831","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d846b7d-8d4b-4f5d-8ad5-3682d9387c53.jpg?v=1685041812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-idea-of-italy-maria-antonella-pelizzari-9780300263831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
