FULL SPECTRUM

This book on the photographic collection of the Moravian Gallery in Brno contains a cross-section of the best that two generations of curators have succeeded in putting together over the past fifty years. It takes the reader on a tour through the small universe of the collection, with examples of photographs covering nearly the entire history of the medium's existence, and with texts that familiarize the reader with the reasons for and circumstances of its founding. Through more than 500 reproductions, the book captures the history of photography from 1841 to 2005.
