Art, Medicine, and Femininity
The Erotic Cloth
The Erotic Cloth: Seduction and Fetishism in Textiles (Bloomsbury, 2018), edited by Lesley Millar and Alice Kettle, is a volume of self-reflexive, vulnerable and at times painfully intimate writing
Peter John Brownlee, The Commerce of Vision
With The Commerce of Vision: Optical Culture and Perception in Antebellum America, Peter John Brownlee offers an elegantly written and extremely interesting study of a range of visual artefacts, including newspapers, paintings, photographs, caricatures, eye glasses, paper money and signboards, among others. Brownlee effectively weaves together a number of thematic threads to create a cohesive investigation of how people in antebellum America look…
Skin and Scars
What does considering skin carefully and specifically illuminate about addiction, addiction discourse and/or the visual culture of addiction, that more general considerations of the body do not? What light is shed when we talk about skin and addiction? I want to propose in this brief article that in looking at addiction and addiction discourse through the lens of skin studies, we see with even more clarity the thinness of the argument that addict…
Uses of Excess in Visual and Material Culture, 1600-2010

Women Drinking Out in Britain since the Early Twentieth Century
Advertising Masculine Vulnerability
This article examines Alfred Priest's (1874–1929) ‘problem picture’ Cocaine, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1919, and an advertisement for Kenilworth cigarettes, which was published in The Graphic only a month before a photograph of Cocaine was reproduced in that same periodical. Despite the differences in media, there are striking similarities between the images. In both the painting and the advertisement a man and woman lounge toge…
Addictive Architecture
This article critically examines the Crystal Palace, which was originally built in 1851 for the Great Exhibition in London, and public drinking spaces such as gin palaces from the perspective of visual culture studies informed by feminist theory. Many nineteenth-century commentators concerned with alcohol consumption argued that the Crystal Palace would function as an alternative to the public house for working-class people. However, some Victori…
