This four-volume publication presents the best from The Manfred Heiting Collection of photographic prints, built between 1970 and 2000. The collection, covering the period 1840–2000, was transferred to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in 2002 and forms an important part of the museum’s collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century photographs. Including many original prints from most of the master photographers (and artists), and in their best available quality, the collection covers all aspects of the history of the medium in this period.

For At the Still Point, Manfred Heiting selected the most compelling images from the 4,000 prints in his collection, complemented them with essays by leading authors and experts in the field of photography, and privately produced these four books (the first in 1996, the last in 2007). Only intended for collector friends, leading curators at museums and institutions, as well as his dedicated dealers around the world, the volumes were never for sale. Now, the 75 remaining sets are available exclusively at steidl.de—a unique publication that includes the largest number of master images from masters of photography taken from a single collection to have been printed in book form.

Manfred Heiting is a designer and editor of photo publications and a collector of photo- books focusing on the period between 1839 and 1990. He has designed and edited Photography 1922–1982, 50 Years Modern Color Photography. 1936–1986 and Between Science and Art. 50 Years German Photographic Society, 1951–2001. Steidl has published his extensive surveys of German, Soviet, Japanese and Czech photobooks, as well as Dr. Paul Wolff & Alfred Tritschler. The Printed Images 1906–2019 (2021) and Shigeru Onishi’s A Metamathematical Proposition (2021).
