Image and Enterprise, The Photography of Adolphe Braun

Image and Enterprise is the first American publication to survey the work of the important 19th century French photographer Adolphe Braun. The book was prepared in conjunction with an exhibition of materials from French and American collections. Braun's photographs of flowers began a career that emcompassed dramatic alpine views, reproductions of great artworks, and more. Six essays address the relationship of photography to industry and the fine arts and its role in the development of contemporary culture.
