4.0 out of 5 stars A close reading, November 1, 2005

This review is from: Hagia Sophia, 1850-1950: Holy Wisdom Modern Monument (Hardcover)
My one criticism of this book - reprinters take note! - is that it does not have a separate bibliography, only endnotes. This, in a book of 250-odd pages of scholarly writing, is completely irritating. But overall it has a wide appeal, in my opinion - I am interested in the history of photography, and his chapter 4 "Making a Picturesque Monument" has one of the most perceptive analyses I've read on the role of photographs in shaping views of a building and a place into a canonical view.
