Black and illustrated paper wraps. 236 pp. appx. 250 bw plates. "The first catalogue of the Eakins photographs in the Pennsylvania Academy's Charles Bregler collection, which includes about three-fourths of Eakins's photographic output. The book describes the entire collection of 648 images, reproducing 173 black-and-white photographs, 52 duotones, and a portfolio section of 16 tritones. This is the first book to place Eakins's photographic works (and those of his circle) within the context of the transitional era between 1880 and 1900, when photography moved from the realm of commerce to that of art." (dj of hardcover edition) Includes portraits, scientific photographs, animals, landscapes, and nudes. The introduction surveys the photographic scene in Philadelphia in the 1800s while the essays in the main body of the book explore the elements of fantasy, sexuality, and science in his work.
