A History of Photography. From 1839 to the Present

George Eastman is known as one of the most crucial innovators in photographic history on the planet. As the founder of Kodak in 1888, Eastman began his career as a delivery boy and eventually became one of America’s most important industrialists in modern times. After his death, however, Eastman left his house to the University of Rochester as an archive and A History of Photography. From 1839 to the Present pulls from over 400,000 images and negatives to offer a look at some of the greatest photos ever taken. And like the title implies, History of Photography. From 1839 to the Present chronologically covers a span of nearly 200 years — featuring imagery from masters like Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Ansel Adams and more.
