Dance photographs are sources of our knowledge about movement. In their various forms of collection and presentation, they serve as a crucial reference point for the scientific reflection on the diverse cultural and historical manifestations of dance. This volume exemplarily discusses the aesthetics of dance photographs from the early 20th century, a time when both photography and dance reinvented themselves as art forms and formed an impressive connection. The contributions gathered here examine dance photographs in their capacity as images of movement and question their implications for a historiographical approach.
