English summary: Immediately after the ‘birth’ of photography in the year 1839, people began exploring the many technical and aesthetical opportunities made possible by this new medium. This ground-breaking study opens a new chapter in the history of photography by analyzing early photomontages and by overcoming the classic concept of single individual pictures. It is a lavish and surprising book that introduces various models of the construction of reality, realism and objectivity in photography. The book encompasses the whole spectrum of photomontage in the 19th century and includes abundant examples, including many that were previously unpublished. It is an essential companion to the history of 19th century photography. German description: Bereits unmittelbar nach der Geburt der Fotografie 1839 wurden technische und asthetische Moglichkeiten des neuen Mediums in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt erkundet. Indem dieses Buch fruhe Montagebilder auswertet, uberwindet es das klassische Bildkonzept des einfachen Einzelbildes. Die Autoren schaffen ein opulentes und uberraschendes Bilderbuch, das unterschiedliche Modelle der Konstruktion von Realitat, Realismus und Wirklichkeit in der Fotografie vorstellt. Zahlreiche Beispiele reprasentieren das gesamte Spektrum der Fotomontage im 19. Jahrhundert; teilweise werden sie in diesem Buch zum ersten Mal publiziert. Die Autoren schlagen so ein neues Kapitel in der Geschichte der Fotografie auf.
