H. Evans in Britain; Macpherson and Ponti in Italy; Salzman in Jerusalem; Chamay in Mexico; and Watkins, Stieglitz, Steichen, Abbot, and O'Sullivan in the United States.Phyllis Lambert's introduction discusses the importance of photography to the architect and architectural historian. Richard Pare's essay examines the history of architectural photography and photographic techniques. The extensive catalog by Catherine Evans Inbusch and Marjorie Munsterberg provides detailed information on the photographs and biographies of the photographers.Richard Pare is Curator of Photographs at the Canadian Centre for Architecture where Phyllis Lambert is founder and director.All of the photographs in this book were selected from the Centre's collection.
