Man Eating Bugs
Always under the sun
Photography in ‘Chat Noir’
The good book
Studio sample sheet
This enormous studio sample sheet, featuring nearly 850 famous faces, and figures, spread across seven feet of thin canvas, was perhaps displayed in the window or behind the counter of a photographic establishment, or carried to small towns in England and abroad by a travelling studio salesman, in the hope of satisfying a popular demand for pictures of the Royal Family, political figures, stage and music hall performers, and celebrities of the da…
Endora Welty, Photographer
Your loving auntie & God mama, Julia Cameron
Written almost immediately upon her return from her 10 years in India, and probably at her temporary residence, Ephrahim Common, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, this note is a typical example of Mrs Cameron's effusive, loving style. The letter dates from a time 15 years before Julia Margaret touched a camera, and it is to her niece Julia PrinsepJackson, who was then only two years old. She was a god-daughter to Mrs Cameron, and later her most frequent mod…
The Brunell camera
Static Glamour
Eudora Welty, photographer
That Eudora Welty1 in addition to her great gifts as a short-story writer should also have been a gifted photographer may come as something of a surprise. One thinks immediately of Wright Morris2, another original writer and photographer, whose interest in the art has continued to this day, whereas photographic activity was only a passing phase for Welty. For a time Eudora Welty thought of becoming a professional photographer, but her early portf…
The look of books
Photo-muebles
Antoine François Claudet, F.R.S. (1797–1867) was a cultured French emigré who became an important member of the London scientific establishment in the mid 19th century. Despite some competition, his leading role as a practitioner in photography was widely recognized and, while he does not share the Olympian heights with Daguerre and Talbot, the appreciation of his contemporaries has stood the test of time1
To Pinky, ‘In Memoriam’
The delicious Harlequin
The prim little girl in the century-old cabinet photograph 1 Connie Giickrist. Original in the Pennsylvania State University Libraries. Purchased from D'Offay Couper Galleries, London, in 1971 is wearing her very best dress, and the bow fitted around her waist must have made it difficult to maintain a balance in a high wind. But she most certainly could have coped with the problem because rope-skipping was her particular talent, and she practised…
The Poet's Pose
In July of 1868, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was on his fourth and final tour of Europe. He had become a literary lion in the grand tradition of the 19th century and enjoyed the kind of reverential celebrity that is now nearly out of style. It was obligatory that he visit with Dickens and Tennyson, and he duly did so. On the 17th or 18th of July 1868, during one of his several visits to Tennyson's house at Farringford on the Isle of Wight, he was …
Memories
Wendell MacRae
Between 1933 and 1937 Wendell MacRae was staff photographer for New York's Rockefeller Center, one of the more lasting architectural achievements of the 1930s. In fact, one is tempted to see the still exuberantly functioning Center complex as an organism caught in suspended animation; not the portent of the future as it was once thought to be, but a living museum of the Art Deco style, a succession of Cinderella castles, a decorous fun-fair, a ki…
