Abstract

In the first decades of the Twentieth century, a vibrant network of both people and institutions, amateurs and professionals, scientists and businessmen engaged with science photography through popular science, tourism, exhibition, and publication. Science photographs were studied, exchanged, collected, published, bought, and sold in a well-established industry of science imaging. This short exhibition catalogue essay traces a small part of this industry through the Herzog collection. Exhibition Kunstmuseum Basel, July 2020- October 2020.
