Impressionist Camera: Pictorial Photography in Europe, 1888-1918 is the first book to explore the origins of and developments in Pictorial photography in various European centers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Containing more than 150 beautiful reproductions of Pictorialist photographs, this extraordinary volume investigates the movement’s influence in Italy, Spain, Russia and the Ukraine, France, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and England and its migration to the United States.

Patrick Daum, Francis Ribemont, and Phillip Prodger, as well as a number of contributing authors from around the globe thoughtfully consider how the particular developments within their countries contributed to the international Pictorial movement. A new introduction to the English edition focuses on the spread of Pictorialism in America and discusses its presence at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. A French edition is also available.
