Balzac believed in photographic spectres and Hawthorne in the revelatory force of the portrait. Flaubert, seeing no artistic mark in it, did not want a portrait of his lover. The new invention was received by writers in very different ways: Gautier loved it; Oliver Wendell Holmes was enthusiastic; Ruskin loved it and then hated it; Mark Twain hated it first and then.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
