This fall, the Harry Ransom Center presents Discovering the Language of Photography:
The Gernsheim Collection.
Drawn from the peerless collection of Helmut and Alison Gernsheim,
the exhibition features masterpieces from photography's first 150 years,
alongside other images that, while lesser known,
are integral to the medium's history.
Highlights include the first photograph,
on permanent display at the Ransom Center,
works by 19th-century masters such as Lewis Carroll,
Julia Margaret Cameron, and Henry Peach Robinson,
and iconic images by modern photographers such as Man Ray, Paul Strand,
Edward Weston, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
