About the Item

Eadweard Muybridge et le Panorama Photographique de San Francisco, 1850-1880 (Eadweard Muybridge and the Photographic Panorama of San Francisco), Limited Edition, French book by Centre Canadien d'Architecture, Montreal (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal), 1993. Photographs by David Harris Eadweard Muybridge. Text by David Harris with the collaboration of Eric Sandweiss. In 1990, the Canadian Centre for Architecture acquired a copy of Eadweard Muybridge's rare mammoth plate, "Panorama of San Francisco from California Street Hill." Made in 1878 from the top of the Mark Hopkins mansion, this 360-degree photograph of the city, over five meters in length, was a remarkable technical achievement but a high point in the history of city view-making. Eadweard Muybridge and the Photographic Panorama of San Francisco, 1950-1880 is the first work to study Muybridge's panorama in-depth, providing a context in which to situate and appreciate his achievement ... Great care has been taken in the reproduction of all the extended views, to preserve as much as possible the intent behind them, often lost when reproduced piecemeal or on separate pages. Until now, very few have ever been adequately printed, owing to the complexities of presenting panoramas of such detail and length in a book form. This is the first work to attempt this systematically and to make possible a comparison of all the prominent creations in this thirty-year history of San Francisco's photographic panoramas, a period of the rise of a city and photography alike. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. Features: Title: Eadweard Muybridge et le Panorama Photographique de San Francisco, 1850 - 1880. Author: David Harris Eadweard Muybridge. Text by David Harris with the collaboration of Eric Sandweiss. Softcover book. Language: French. Thirty-four photographic illustrations, including five foldouts and one foldout panorama in 8 parts. 135 pages. Dimensions: 11.82 in x 9.63 in (30 x 24.5 cm). The book was published in 1993 by Centre Canadien d'Architecture Montreal (Canadian Center for Architecture, Montreal). This is a limited edition of only 5,000 samples (1,500 in French and 3,500 in English). The book is in good condition, with minor wear due to regular reading.
