此书致力于挖掘摄影术、照相机在它们刚刚被发明出来的一个世纪里的发展变化，收录了包括摄影术的发明者之一威廉·亨利·福克斯·塔尔伯特的照片在内的众多早期摄影作品。它是共有三卷的“纽约现代艺术博物馆里的摄影”中的第三卷，既展现了博物馆的丰富收藏，也勾勒了摄影这门艺术的历史。

Photography at MoMA: 1840 to 1920 is the final volume in a set of three books that together present a new and comprehensive history of photography through works in The Museum of Modern Art’s collection.

Illustrated with over 400 reproductions, the book charts the photographic medium from early examples in the 1840s through its participation in international art movements such as Pictorialism and modernism. An in-depth introduction is followed by eight chapters of full-color plates, each introduced by a short essay, offering a fresh lens through which to appreciate works of exceptional significance, surprise and influence, and encouraging creative new readings. Masterworks by photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Roger Fenton, Nadar, Frances Benjamin Johnston, Henry Fox Talbot, August Sander, Edward Steichen and Carleton Watkins appear alongside lesser-known gems and vernacular forms of photography.
