Detailed information

Product detailed description

A Hundred Years of Photography 1839–1939 by Lucia Moholy is a landmark publication tracing the cultural, technical, and artistic evolution of photography’s first century. First released in 1939, this book explores the transformation of photography from an obscure magical practice to a mass medium shaping the modern visual world.

Lucia Moholy situates the emergence of photography within a complex matrix of political, economic, and aesthetic contexts. The narrative begins with Daguerre’s early portrait of a living person and follows the rapid technological and societal developments that shaped the field. Enriched by rare photographs and magazine illustrations, the book offers an accessible yet profound reflection on the photographic image’s role in society.

Born in Prague in 1894, Moholy was not only a passionate photographer but also an influential thinker, writer, and educator. After moving to Germany and later London, she became a central figure in photography’s historical discourse and contributed actively to The Photographic Society of Great Britain. This edition features a new translation, insightful introduction, and contemporary design that bridges past and present.
