The History of European Photography (1900 – 2000) is an international research project spanning the whole of Europe. The project’s main aim was to publish an encyclopaedia in English, divided into three volumes / periods, volume 1: 1900 - 1938, volume 2: 1939-1970, volume 3: 1971 - 2000. Each volume of the encyclopaedia is organized alphabetically by country. A study on the history of photography in each country is written by an expert on photography from that country. Alongside the main studies, each book contains extensive additional material, biographies of mentioned photographers, and timetables marking cultural, socio-political and technical photographic events in each country for a given period. There are be two types of indices in each book - an index of mentioned photographers and an index of other historical names and subjects. The book was published with a print run of 5000 copies per volume, each of the six volumes containing approximately 600 pages.
The price of one volume is 199,00€.Editor: Václav Macek Project Manager: Michaela Bosáková
