Book Description
Excerpt from The American Journal of Photography, 1892, Vol. 13 F we were asked to give the name of a class of photographic pictures returning handsome profits, and which could be finished easily and quickly, we should say the ferrotype. We mean by this the old-fashioned ferrotype or collodion positive on thin japanned iron, not the ferro-prussiate or blue print, which is sometimes confounded with the former. A rather startling story made its appearance in one of our recent English contemporaries, to the effect that dry ferrotype plates requiring but very short exposures were now articles of commerce. We have not yet seen them, but should welcome the introduction of such plates if they could be manufactured and sold at reasonable prices. But there are serious difficulties in the way; and to make clear why they are so we shall devote a few moments to a description of the ferrotype picture.

Pages : 379
Book Description
Photography, both in the form of contemporary practice and that of historical material, now occupies a significant place in the citadels of Western art culture. It has an institutional network of its own, embedded within the broader art world, with its own specialists including academics, critics, curators, collectors, dealers and conservators. All of this cultural activity consolidates an artistic practice and critical discourse of photography that distinguishes what is increasingly termed 'art photography' from its commercial, scientific and amateur guises. But this long-awaited recognition of photography as high art brings new challenges. How will photography's newly privileged place in the art world affect how the history of creative photography is written? Modernist claims for the medium as having an aesthetic often turned on precedents from painting. Postmodernism challenged a cultural hierarchy organized around painting. Nineteenth-century photographs move between the symbolic spaces of the gallery wall and the archive: de-contextualised for art and re-contextualised for history. But what of the contemporary writings, images, and practices that negotiated an aesthetic status for 'the photographic'? Photography and the Arts revisits practices both celebrated and elided by the modernist and postmodernist grand narratives of art and photographic history in order to open up new critical spaces. Written by leading scholars in the fields of photography, art and literature, the essays examine the metaphorical as well as the material exchanges between photography and the fine, graphic, reproductive and sculptural arts.
