    About the Book

    Edit

    Leavitt Hunt and Nathan Baker were the first Americans to make photographs in Egypt and the Holy Land. This book explores their lives and examines the pioneering work that they accomplished with the new medium in the middle of the nineteenth century. At a time when photography was a much more difficult and deliberate endeavor than it is today, Hunt and Baker created a set of nearly ninety views that laid a foundation for the later genre of travel photography.

    David Hanlon
    St. Louis, MO USA

    David has been a collegiate instructor in the field of photography since 1988 and strives to excite students about the potential of the medium, directing them to seek ways to build upon their successes. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Design, Visual & Performing Arts at St. Louis Community College at Meramec. Teaching and researching aspects of photographic history are also important components of his academic outlook. David has had his essays appear in peer-reviewed journals and in exhibition catalogs over the past 25 years. His book, "Illuminating Shadows: The Calotype in Nineteenth-Century America," was released in 2013 (Carl Mautz Publishing). Creating and exhibiting his own photographic work are also critical to his engagement with the medium, and he has undertaken extended projects as a photographer at archaeological excavations in Syria (1990-2001) and the Republic of North Macedonia (2007-08).
