JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES
PHOTOGRAPHY: THE WORLD
THROUGH THE LENS
The invention of photography represented a turning point in
nineteenth century culture and visual experiences. For the
first time, there was a means to capture an accurate and true
portrayal of the people, places, and events that would shape
history. As a complement to studies of history, culture,
media, and many other disciplines, Photography: The World
Through the Lens provides the visual evidence to support and
supplement written sources and documents the nineteenth
century world and its peoples both at work and at leisure,
along with scientific research and medical practices, travel
and exploration, and portraits of people and major events
such as coronations, funerals, and wars.
