With historical records establishing 19th-century British photographer Anna Atkins’s Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions (1843-1853) as the first photobook, it is not surprising that women have consistently contributed to the rich history of photobook making. 10×10 Photobooks has organized How We See—a touring reading room, “book on books” publication and series of public events—to explore the content, design and intellectual attributes in photobooks produced by women.
The comprehensive How We See “book-on-books” publication was published in mid-November 2018 and is now in a third printing. In addition to all one hundred books in the reading room, the publication includes one hundred historical books by women photographers, an annotated history and essays by photographer Ishiuchi Miyako; Magnum Foundation Executive Director, Kristen Lubben and Valentina Abenavoli of Akina Books.
