This book provides a unique view of the philosophical, esthetic, and scientific climate that produced both a fascination with the landscape of the American West and a sophisticated means of visually recording it. This perfect meeting of technology and temperament created a golden age of landscape photography." from the jacket flap. - from Amzon
