Portuguese Photography Since 1854: Livro de Viagens

This survey of Portuguese photography consists of technical rarities from the 19th century, historical and journalistic images, landscape photography, and the works of the most important modern and contemporary Portuguese photographers. The spectrum is wide, from street scenes of Lisbon to artistically stylized portraits, and all points between. Central to the book are those themes of Portugal's history, including the travel inherent in a once colonial power. The book includes many photographs from locales far outside of the country's actual borders.
