adam_text | PHOTOGRAPHY,
IMAGINATION
Grace Seiberling
In
1851,
when photographs were first shown at
the Great Exhibition of Arts and Industry, pho¬
tography was primarily a hobby for well-to-do
amateurs. These early photographers were
members of the intellectual and aristocratic
elite. They had the means, the education, and
the leisure to pursue this new- art-science with
ardent seriousness. They formed societies, such
as the Photographic Society and the
Photo¬
graphie
Exchange Club, and published journals
for the purpose of sharing their discoveries,
exchanging photographs, and publicizing the
medium. In this highly original and sensitive
book about the birth and transformation of
photography in Victorian England, Grace
Seiberlin
g
explores the work of thirty-three
amateur photographers. She describes how they
affected the development of the medium and
set technical, subject, and compositional stan¬
dards for future generations of photographers.
Until now, the question of the amateur s role
in the history of photography has been largely
ignored- Seiberling shows that many of the
technical advances in photography during the
185Os were initiated by the experiments of the
amateurs, including the discovery of hypo as a
fixing agent, the invention of the collodion pro¬
cess, and the development of alkaline gold
toning.
A he very absence of any defined stan¬
dards for the medium presented the amateurs
with an unlimited number of choices. They
enjoyed the challenge of solving the technical
problems as well as the pure wonder of the new
phenomenon.
Without a photographic tradition to guide
them, the amateurs* aesthetic values were influ¬
enced by pictorial tradition and cultural
convention. TTheir choices of subjects were a
function of their social and economic status. As a
(Continued on back, flap»)
cultivated class, they used photography as a
pleasurable activity and recorded their leisured
existence. Seiberling superbly demonstrates
how the imagery in their photographs
—
the
peaceful landscapes, trees, monuments, ruins,
and still life compositions
—
reflect the shared
values of the group as well as their interest in
art, history, literature, and travel. By placing the
development of early photography in its social
context, Seiberling has produced not only a bril¬
liant work of art history but also a fascinating
look into the sociological aspects of the mid-
Victorian imagination.
This book will appeal to general readers and
sociologists as well as art historians because of its
original treatment of early photography as a
manifestation of class concerns. Illustrated with
over seventy-five photographs from the 1850s,
the book includes a biographical appendix by
Carolyn Bloore with brief sketches and portraits
of the amateurs themselves. A technical appen¬
dix clearly describes the terms and processes
discussed in the text.
Grace Seiberling is associate professor of art
history at the University of Rochester and was
guest curator at the International Museum of
Photography at George Eastman House for the
exhibition A Vision Exchanged: Amateurs and
Photography in Mid-Victorian England.
