Across the West and Toward the North

Norwegian and American Landscape Photography

Herausgeber: Egan, Shannon; Fjellestad, Marthe Tolnes

Beschreibung

Compares how photographers in Norway and the US represented the environment in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when once-remote wildernesses were first surveyed, developed, and photographed. Making images while traversing almost inaccessible terrain, photographers created a visual language that came to symbolize each nation.
