Conjuring place
The World's Edge — The Atlas of Emptiness and Extremity showcases, in exhibition and book form, the work of Thomas Joshua Cooper (b. 1946) and his project to chart photographically the edges and extremities of the Atlantic Basin. Cooper's large black-and-white prints, often abstract and tied tenuously to a specific location by words, are visually arresting and intensely geographical. This essay points to Cooper's work as an imaginative geography …
Photography
Read explained to a rapt audience how photography stood in a "threefold relation with Science:" 1 It may render help as a safe and ready means of Illustration and Record....; or it may become a principal agent in extending our knowledge, and be used as a means of Remark and Discovery; or it may exert a kind of refl ex infl uence upon Science which may be spoken of apart from its immediate connexion with it." 2 Citing examples from studies of orga…

Oh! What a Parade
The exhibition and accompanying book, “Points of View: Capturing the Nineteenth Century in Photographs,” drawn from the extensive holdings of photography at the British Library, presents an opportunity to reflect upon the influence of institutional and disciplinary practices on the perceived nature and meaning of photographs. This essay explores the presentation of the great icons of the art history of photography within the physical and intellec…

Archives, records, and power
The National Archives of Canada
The first recorded acquisition of photographs by the National Archives of Canada occurred in 1897, but it was not until 1906, when the second Dominion Archivist, Arthur Doughty, was authorized to expend money on acquiring paintings, drawings, prints and other visual documents of historical interest, that systematic acquisition of all these media began and the separate Picture Division was established. The Archives began in 1872 as a branch within…
The Geography Lesson
The enigmatic Henry E. Insley
An unidentified daguerreotype in the National Archives of Canada, stamped ‘Insley’ on the gilt mat, prompted research into the maker. Purchased at a flea market in Toronto in 1986, this fine sixth-plate portrait of a man (figure 1) has led to a tangled web of international connections and speculation over the comings and goings of pioneer daguerreotypist Henry E. Insley
Hazardous feat at Niagara
Dixon's performance, said to surpass the highwire walking of Blondin, was accomplished in just 131⁄2 minutes. To prepare for the feat, Dixon ‘went over to the American side and ate a dozen raw oysters and fortified himself with a small nip of brandy.’2 The St. Louis and Canadian Photographer pointed out that the idea first came to him ‘while crossing the suspension bridge at Niagara Falls on his way to attend the Photographers’ Association of Ame…
Ned Hanlan
On his death Canadian sculler, Edward ‘Ned’ Hanlan (1855–1908), was called ‘the most famous oarsman of not only his own time, but undoubtedly of the nineteenth century’.1 In 1879, Hanlan stunned the British when he handily defeated William Elliott, the champion of England, and did 80 in the fastest time ever clocked over the Tyne racecourse. The following year, the 5′8′′ Hanlan met 6′4′′ Australian great, Edward Trickett, over the Thames W mid Ch…
The ‘Little Wanzer’
Phrases such as ‘this little favourite’ and ‘the latest novelty of the age’ were a stock part of 19-century advertising rhetoric. Frequently used to describe the cartede-visite, they were also appended to a wide variety of goods. In the case of two cartes from the National Photography Collection, Public Archives Canada, the ‘little favourite’ of photography was used to sell the ‘latest novelty’ in sewing machines
Another side of William Notman
The amusing juxtaposition of the signature of a famous photographer on the photograph of a lowly or mundane subject invites comment, as much to share the delightful surprise as to explain the apparent irony. Such is the opportunity presented by the discovery of two cartesde- visite of wood-burning stoves attributed to William Notman
Daniel Manders Beere
Through History of Photography, photoarchivists at the National Photography Collection of the Public Archives of Canada have learned that one of Canada's photographic pioneers was among New Zealand's early photographers of note. An article by William Main entitled, ‘Photographic Reportage of the New Zealand Wars’1, and subsequent correspondence from John Sullivan2, have shed welcome light on the origins and later life of Daniel Manders Beere
