This gallery, featuring a kaleidoscope of early photographic masterpieces, selected by 18 museums, archives and photo agencies in Europe, showcases how the camera has, from the very beginning of photographic history, captured the world from its most beautiful angles as well as its most dramatic days.
The original themes of the gallery represent eight main topics: The city lives | living the city; The art of portrait; Yesterday’s children; Hardship and drama; The eye of beholder; Photographer at work!; Joy & leisure; A brave new world.
In addition, insights about the Photographic Processes in early photography and a brief History of Photography explain the developments of this art form.
These are accessible from the menu on the right >>>
