Samenvatting
We cite from the COVER:
"Galleries of Friendship and Fame is the first comprehensive investigation of the origin and development of nineteenth-century American photograph albums and the practices surrounding their use. In this fascinating book, Elizabeth Siegel examines carte de visite and cabinet card albums from their introduction in the United States in 1861 through the rise of the snapshot at the century's end. By examining a wealth of previously overlooked primary materials, Siegel offers a completely new understanding of photograph albums, revealing how they were marketed and sold and how families displayed and told stories through them. Galleries of Friendship and Fame moves beyond photograph albums to address the history of technology and innovation, the interconnectedness of the commercial and domestic spheres, and the ways photography helped shape notions of identity, family, and nation in a rapidly changing America."
