'Braun's meticulous study is rich in detail' - Guardian 'tells [Maybridge's] story with clarity and economy and is particularly good on the battle between science and art in his photographs' - The Art Newspaper 'Braun's detailed study of the life and work show a complicated man, a combination of "technical wizard, show-business pioneer, popular scientist and artist", whose work transformed or understanding of the human form.' - New Statesman 'Marta Braun has a grasp of enormous amounts of detail concerning the history of photography, as well as a lively understanding of the social and cultural history in which her subject existed.
