Adolphe Braun publisher of stereographs

Adolphe Braun was one of the biggest French publishers of photographs. The book gives a very good overview of the various activities of this important photographer, who started a publishing business. Adolphe Braun published many stereographs. The text does not pay much attention to Adolphe Braun and this popular Victorian invention. Not all information is new. Anne MacAuley mentioned the use of photography in textile and wall paper design by Braun in her book "Industrial Madness". Gisele Freund described the art reproductions bij Braun in her book "Photography and society". The design of the book is excellent
