Alfred Maskell was an artist, primarily a photographer, who worked tirelessly to advance the art. He was a member of The Linked Ring, an invitation-only group that wanted to advance photography as an art form. Members encouraged experimentation with the photographic process. The organization was founded in 1892 by Maskell, with George Davison and Henry Van der Weyde. The Linked Ring was at its peak between its founding, until roughly 1909. Maskell, along with Robert Memachy, helped to develop the gum-bichromate printing, which is able to create a unique painterly image from negatives.
First authoritative, comprehensive study of photography from a purely aesthetic point of view, spanning its history from daguerreotypes to modern photo-reportage. 240 superb photographs. First inexpensive paperback edition.

"The essays in this stimulating collection attest to the scope and variety of Russia's influence on British culture. They move from the early nineteenth century -- when Byron sent his hero Don Juan to meet Catherine the Great, and an English critic sought to come to terms with the challenge of Pushkin -- to a series of Russian-themed exhibitions at venues including the Crystal Palace and Earls Court. The collection looks at British encounters with Russian music, the absorption with Dostoevskii and Chekhov, and finishes by shedding light on Britain's engagement with Soviet film."--Back cover.
In the tumultuous, ever-shifting terrain of the digital age, this groundbreaking introductory book offers the strength and stability of the fundamental aesthetic and technical building blocks necessary to create visually stimulating and thought-provoking digitally based photographs.
This incredible work presents the memoirs of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. Despite maintaining the German Empire's status as a great power by building a solid navy, his brash public statements and inconsistent foreign policy significantly antagonized the international community and are considered by many to be one of the underlying causes of World War I. When the German war effort tumbled after a string of devastating defeats on the Western Front in 1918, he was forced to resign, marking the end of the German Empire.
