Description
Maria Morris Hambourg's comprehensive look at Nadar (Felix Tournachon) captures the entrepreneurial French photographer who practically invented celebrity portraiture. His shots of Baudelaire, Dumas, Daumier, Berlioz, George Sand, and Sarah Bernhardt defined what artistic portrait photography could be. This Metropolitan Museum catalog reproduces 99 photographs as stunning full-page plates with numerous smaller reproductions. Ex-library edition with usual markings inside, some wear on edges and corners, protective sleeve on dustjacket with light wear. The 9.25x12.25" format and 271 pages make this a substantial reference despite the library provenance.
