Early Gaze provides a fascinating insight into the origins and development of photography in nineteenth-century Belgium. At the time, the technology was the wonder of the age.

With numerous unique photos by François Braga, Joseph Pelizzaro, Guillaume Claine, Joseph-Ernest Buschmann, Edmond Fierlants, and others.
