150 Jaar Fotografie. een keuze uit de collectie van de Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst

Photographs from the Dutch national collection illustrate the development of photographic techniques and visual forms through 134 selected examples. The selection includes work by many Dutch photographers and considers changes in both the making of photographs and their visual language. Drawn from the holdings of the Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst, it is based largely on the Hartkamp collection, acquired by the Dutch state in 1984. That collection comprised more than 60,000 photographs and 6,000 books and magazines. Alongside its account of photographic development, the volume includes explanations of technical terms and an index, combining a survey of images with reference material on photographic processes.
