Sir Benjamin Stone's Pictures: Festivals, ceremonies, and customs
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Great Britain
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
"Sir Benjamin Stone, Member of Parliament for the Birmingham constituency, was a keen 'amateur' photographer, with a passion for, as he put it, 'unfaked' photographs. In 1897 he was a prime mover behind the National Photographic Record Association, which aimed to gather together an archive of photographs documenting every facet of contemporary British life, printed as carbon prints or platinotypes for permanence. As well as being its primary motivator, activist and publicist, Stone was also the association's most prolific photographer. In 1906, only four years before the association was disbanded owing to its members' apathy, Stone published an example of the king of thing he wanted to achieve with the group: two volumes of his own work, the first on British customs, the second on the Houses of Parliament. ... These two volumes mark the end of the nineteenth-century documentary photobook in Britain--documentary photography in the typological mode. Stone's Festivals, Ceremonies and Customs reflects back on half a century of documentary practice that was never quite carried forward into the next century."--The Photobook : A History Volume I / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. London: Phaidon, 2004.
