The article maintains that the photograph is part of the ongoing Western tradition in printmaking for representation. It traces the use of the land as motif in photography, from its invention to 1900, and places it within the context of Western landscape painting with which it has so many similarities, so few differences, in spite of the revolution in perception which photography brought. The author concludes that ‘landscape’ exists only as a concept, for most part either idealised and subjective or surprisingly private and intimate.
