The Photography of the Visual Arts, 1839-1880: Part IV

Part 4 of a 4 part artcile on the history of photographing
visual art and related museological and commercial activities -
restricted mainly to Great Britain (and France). For abstracts
of the previous 3 articles see Perspektief issues 37, abstracts
024 and 025, issue 39, abstract 068. This part concentrates on
the role played in the development of the use of photography by
the various national museums, galleries and collections, which
were set up during the 19th century - a role which was central
to the success of the medium in this area. Preeminent roles,
also internationally, were played by the 'British Museum' and
the 'South Kensington Museum' (later renamend the 'Victoria and
Albert Museum', 1899). The last part of the article is devoted
to the rise of architectural photography and publications
thereof. Several commissioned photography projects are discussed.
