The lavishly illustrated periodical established photography as a fine art and brought a new sensibility to the American art world.<br>This volume reproduces chronologically all the photographs and other illustrations (except for advertisements) that ever appeared in the publication. Included here are some of the finest and best-known works by American and European artists and photographers including numerous photos by Stieglitz himself as well as Edward (as Eduard) Steichen Paul Strand Alvin Langdon Coburn Clarence White Robert Demachy Frank Eugene Julia Margaret Cameron Gertrude Käsebier Heinrich Kühn and many others.
