This book explores Belgium’s early embrace of photography after its 1839 invention, highlighting its role as a hub for innovation, supported by geography, industry, and a wealthy middle class. With numerous nostalgic photographs. Text in English and Dutch.
In 1839, photography was invented almost simultaneously in France and England, quickly finding fertile ground in Belgium – a young nation established in 1830. Positioned at the crossroads of Europe, Belgium became a hub for technological innovation, where photography flourished as both an art form and a means of self-representation. Driven by a wealthy middle class eager to capture its image, as well as strong support from the government, industry, and financial sectors, photography rapidly spread across the country. This book explores Belgium’s pivotal role in the early development of photography, offering a fascinating look at how a new medium shaped a nation’s identity. Featuring numerous nostalgic photographs by François Braga & Joseph Pelizzaro, Guillaume Claine, Joseph Ernest Buschmann, William Henry Fox Talbot, among others.
