Cameras and what they capture have forever changed our perception of the world and of ourselves. This gorgeous cornerstone volume, created in collaboration with the world-famous George Eastman House, celebrates the camera and the art of the photograph.

The informative narrative by Todd Gustavson traces the camera's development, the lives of its brilliant but often eccentric inventors and the artists behind the lens.

It also includes a foreword by the Director of George Eastman House and essays by Steve Sasson and Alexis Gerard.
